Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2010 Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program, along with the Special Tribal Sexual Assault Coalition Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2010 2587), is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The central purpose of this funding is to strengthen and expand the ability of survivors, advocates, Indian women`s organizations, and victim service providers to create and sustain nonprofit, nongovernmental tribal coalitions focused on domestic violence and sexual assault. In practical terms, OVW is using this program to help build coordinated, survivor-centered leadership and infrastructure so that tribal coalitions can better organize, advocate, and support efforts aimed at ending violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women.
This solicitation is tied to CFDA number 16.557 (Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program) and is framed broadly across several public-service domains, including law and justice, health, housing, education/employment supports, and related human services. That range reflects how OVW views violence prevention and victim support in tribal communities: not as a single-system issue, but as something that touches safety, legal advocacy, medical and behavioral health needs, shelter and housing stability, and community education and training. By investing in coalitions rather than only direct services, the program emphasizes long-term capacity building, shared strategy, and coordinated action across programs and communities.
Funding for this cycle was estimated at $3.4 million total, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per grant. OVW anticipated making about 20 awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for organizations that may not have access to non-federal funds and helps ensure that smaller or emerging tribal coalitions can still compete. The funding instrument is a standard grant, and the opportunity was posted on March 26, 2010, with an application deadline of May 4, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on June 3, 2010.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and to individuals, as listed in the opportunity details. The agency administering the program is OVW, and the solicitation specifically targets the formation and development of tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions as nonprofit, nongovernmental entities. The emphasis on coalition-building signals an intent to support organized networks that can represent survivor interests, strengthen advocacy, provide training and technical assistance, and improve how services and responses are coordinated across tribal communities and partner systems.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full solicitation text, OVW provided a document link through its website (the FY10 tribal coalitions solicitation PDF). OVW also listed support contacts for access issues or questions, including the OVW main line at 202-307-6026 and the email address OVW.TribalCoalitions@usdoj.gov.
