Opportunity Summary:
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "OVC FY 15 2016 NCVRW Resource Guide Competitive Solicitation" (Funding Opportunity Number: OVC 2015 4156) to support National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) activities for April 2016 and to extend that impact throughout the year. Through this solicitation, OVC planned to make a single cooperative agreement award, with funding of up to $300,000 total and an award ceiling of $300,000. The goal of the project is to conceptualize, develop, and produce a comprehensive resource kit designed for the victim services field, helping organizations and practitioners raise public awareness about crime victim issues nationwide. In practical terms, the kit is meant to be a ready-to-use set of materials that victim service providers and allied partners can deploy during NCVRW and beyond to strengthen outreach, education, and public engagement around victims' rights and services.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that OVC expected to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on major deliverables, providing direction or feedback, and coordinating to ensure the final resource guide kit aligns with national messaging and the needs of the field. The program sits within the broader assistance scope associated with victim services and justice-related support, and it is tied to CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was open to a range of organizations that can credibly develop and disseminate national-level outreach resources, including nonprofit organizations (explicitly including tribal nonprofit organizations), faith- and community-based organizations, and public agencies. Because the purpose is to serve the victim services field nationwide, the solicitation implicitly favors applicants with the capacity to manage a tightly scheduled communications and production effort, coordinate with diverse stakeholders, and deliver high-quality materials suitable for broad distribution and use.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on March 13, 2015 (with a creation date of March 16, 2015) and had an application deadline of April 29, 2015, with an archive date of May 29, 2015. OVC emphasized that applicants should begin work well in advance of the April 29 deadline, which reflects the time-intensive nature of preparing a competitive proposal and the compressed timeline needed to design, produce, and prepare materials in time for NCVRW in April 2016. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, OVC provided a point of contact: Kimberly Kelberg, Victim Justice Program Specialist at OVC.
