Opportunity Summary:
OVC FY10 Helping Organizations and Programs Expand (HOPE III) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), focused on strengthening and modernizing the crime victim services field nationwide. The central purpose is not just to fund direct services, but to take a step back and help the field define where it stands today, where it needs to go next, and what kind of shared strategy can move it forward. OVC designed this project to broaden the overall vision and increase the long-term impact of victim services across the United States by supporting a structured, collaborative planning and analysis effort.
Under this solicitation, OVC planned to fund five separate grantees through cooperative agreements. These five organizations would work in a coordinated way, with each grantee responsible for a critical portion of a comprehensive national analysis of the current state of the crime victims field. The intent is that, taken together, these separate analyses form a fuller picture of how victim services function across jurisdictions and disciplines, what gaps exist, what promising practices are emerging, and what systemic barriers limit effectiveness. The cooperative agreement format signals that OVC expected to be actively involved in guiding, coordinating, and shaping the work rather than operating as a hands-off funder.
A major deliverable is the development of a final consensus document. This document is meant to do more than summarize findings; it is expected to provide a philosophical and strategic framework that clarifies the role of the victim services field in the nation’s overall response to crime. In practical terms, it would articulate shared principles and a common direction for the field, helping practitioners, policymakers, and funders align around a coherent vision. The consensus document is also expected to include concrete recommendations both to OVC and to the broader victim services community, so the end product is actionable rather than purely conceptual.
Another key outcome is a detailed blueprint for a national demonstration project, or potentially multiple demonstration projects, specifically focused on implementing the recommendations that come out of the consensus process. In other words, HOPE III is structured to move from assessment to strategy to an implementation plan that can be tested in the real world. By requiring a demonstration project blueprint, OVC is pushing grantees to think through what it would look like to operationalize reforms, innovations, or system improvements at a national scale, including the practical design details needed to launch and evaluate those efforts later.
The funding opportunity (OVC-2010-2522) falls under CFDA 16.582, Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants, and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice, and Legal Services. Awards were expected to range from $250,000 (floor) to $500,000 (ceiling), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were broad and included state, county, and city governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations, including those with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that latter category).
From an administrative standpoint, applications were due April 20, 2010, with mandatory registration in the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) prior to submission. The solicitation specified a registration deadline the same day at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and an application submission deadline at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Technical assistance for GMS submission was available through the GMS Help Desk, and programmatic questions were directed to Meg Morrow, Attorney Advisor, at OVC.
Overall, HOPE III is best understood as a field-building initiative: it funds coordinated national-level analysis, forces consensus around shared direction and guiding principles, and produces a practical implementation roadmap that OVC and the victim services field could use to drive future investments and demonstration efforts.
