Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 15 National Indian Nations Conference: Justice for Victims of Crime grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2015 4226) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Through a single cooperative agreement, OVC plans to fund one organization to plan and deliver the 15th National Indian Nations Conference: Justice for Victims of Crime, a biennial event scheduled to take place in 2016. The award is designed specifically to support the planning, coordination, and execution of a national, three-day training conference that strengthens how professionals respond to the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native victims of crime.
OVC expects to make one award for up to $450,000 total (estimated total funding is also $450,000). The award ceiling is $450,000 and there is no stated award floor. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the recipient should expect substantial collaboration with OVC in key parts of the project, such as conference design, agenda development, alignment with federal victim services priorities, and other planning and implementation decisions that typically involve ongoing federal involvement.
The core purpose of the conference is capacity-building. Over the three-day event, the conference is intended to provide timely training, share best practices, and deliver practical resources for professionals who serve or interact with American Indian and Alaska Native crime victims. The target audience includes victim service providers, criminal justice professionals, and allied professionals. The emphasis is on improving the quality, effectiveness, and cultural responsiveness of victim-centered services and systems, so that responses to victimization in tribal communities are better informed, better coordinated, and more directly supportive of victims needs.
Eligibility is fairly broad but clearly focused on demonstrated experience with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations; for-profit organizations (including tribal organizations) as long as they agree to forgo any profit or management fee; institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities); faith-based and community organizations; and consortiums that can show organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for organizations that may not have access to non-federal match funds.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and is categorized in the broad area of Income Security and Social Services. The announcement was posted on April 14, 2015, with a closing date reflected as June 1, 2015 (the narrative also urges applicants to begin early in advance of a May 28, 2015 deadline reference, which suggests applicants needed to watch internal submission steps and timelines closely). The opportunity was archived July 1, 2015. Applicants wanting context on the event itself are directed to the prior conference website at www.ovcinc.org, which is presented as a resource for understanding the scope and nature of this biennial convening.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, OVC provided a direct point of contact: Kimberly Woodard, Senior Tribal Affairs Specialist, at (202) 307-2952.
