Opportunity Summary:
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) announced a discretionary, competitive funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2013 3481) to support development of the 2014 National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW) Resource Guide. The program would make a single award in the form of a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect ongoing federal involvement during the project, typically meaning coordination with OVC on major deliverables, messaging, timelines, and approvals rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The purpose of the award is to fund production of a comprehensive, ready-to-use kit for the victim services field that helps organizations raise public awareness about crime victim issues during NCVRW in April 2014 and to extend that outreach throughout the year. In practical terms, the deliverable is a resource guide package that victim service providers, allied agencies, and community partners can use to plan events, communicate consistent messages, and educate the public about victims rights and services. The emphasis is not simply on creating stand-alone materials, but on producing a cohesive set of resources that can be broadly disseminated and easily adapted by the field.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations (including nonprofit tribal organizations), faith-based and community-based organizations, and public agencies. Nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status are explicitly identified as eligible, and the solicitation also indicates additional eligible entity types in the eligibility clarification text. Institutions of higher education are excluded from the specifically listed nonprofit category. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide a cash or in-kind match to receive the award.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of January 18, 2013, and an application deadline (original and current closing date) of March 13, 2013, with the announcement archived on April 12, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.582, Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants, and the funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services. Applicants were encouraged to start the application process early to avoid last-minute submission issues before the deadline.
For support, the announcement directs applicants with technical submission problems to Grants.gov Customer Support (800 518 4726 or 606 545 5035, or support@grants.gov), noting the hotline operates 24/7 except federal holidays. For questions about solicitation requirements or other non-technical issues, applicants were referred to Kimberly Kelberg, Victim Justice Program Specialist, reachable by email at kimberly.kelberg@usdoj.gov.
