Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY10 National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2555) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime, under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). The purpose of the award is narrowly focused: OVC planned to fund one organization to coordinate and deliver a national event aligned with the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims on September 25, 2010, while also producing practical support materials that strengthen services for surviving family members of homicide victims.
Under this opportunity, the selected grantee would be responsible for two major deliverables beyond event planning. First, the grantee would prepare resource packets containing technical assistance materials intended for victim service providers and allied professionals. These packets were meant to improve the field's capacity to respond to the unique needs of homicide survivors, including grief, trauma, ongoing justice-system involvement, and longer-term support challenges. Second, the grantee would create a marketing and dissemination plan to ensure those resource packets were distributed widely across the nation, making the materials accessible and useful well beyond the single remembrance-day event.
The award ceiling for the grant was $150,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants spanned a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding higher education institutions). This eligibility design suggests OVC expected proposals from organizations with demonstrated capacity to organize national or multi-jurisdictional initiatives and to develop and distribute professional resource materials.
Key dates and submission requirements were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on March 16, 2010, and applications were due by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 8, 2010. Applicants were required to register with the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) before submitting an application, emphasizing that timely registration was a prerequisite to meeting the deadline. The opportunity was later archived on May 8, 2010.
For application submission support, OVC directed applicants to the Grants Management System Support Hotline at 1-888-549-9901 (option 3) or GMSHelpDesk@usdoj.gov, with operating hours Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern Time, excluding federal holidays. For programmatic questions, the contact listed was Kimberly Kelberg, Victim Justice Program Specialist, at 202-305-2903, and applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were instructed to contact her as well.
