Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2929) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to help communities strengthen and expand the practical, day-to-day supports available to children and youth who have been exposed to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, along with services and advocacy for the nonabusing parent or caretaker. The core idea behind the program is that exposure to violence can have serious and long-lasting effects on young people, and communities often need additional capacity, coordination, and specialized expertise to respond effectively and safely.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means recipients should expect an active partnership with the funder that can include federal involvement in oversight, coordination, reporting expectations, and program guidance. The funding activity is categorized as “Other,” because the program is not limited to direct services alone; it also supports the surrounding infrastructure needed to improve outcomes for children and families. This includes service delivery for children exposed to these forms of violence, plus training, coordination, and advocacy efforts that strengthen how local systems and organizations identify affected children and connect them and their families to appropriate help. A stated focus of the program is improving the ability of programs that serve children and youth to recognize signs of domestic violence exposure and to make informed, safe referrals for families who may be experiencing violence.
OVW anticipated making around 20 awards under this solicitation. The award ceiling is listed as $400,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for organizations and agencies that might not have access to non-federal match funds. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically indicates that a minimum amount is not guaranteed and that the final award size depends on the proposal, scope, and available funding. The opportunity was posted and created on January 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 3, 2011, and an archive date of April 2, 2011.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes units of government and community-serving entities that are positioned to deliver or coordinate victim services and child- and youth-focused supports. Eligible applicants include city or township governments, county governments, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, territorial agencies, victim service providers, tribal nonprofit organizations, and community-based organizations. This mix of eligible applicants reflects the program’s emphasis on community-level solutions and cross-system collaboration, recognizing that effective responses often involve partnerships among victim service agencies, child-serving organizations, schools or youth programs, tribal organizations, and local or state governmental entities.
The public-facing program description emphasizes increasing resources, services, and advocacy for both the child or youth and the nonabusing parent or caretaker. In practice, that framing signals a family-centered and safety-focused approach: the intent is not only to help young people cope with exposure to violence, but also to support the caregiver who is not causing harm and who may be navigating safety planning, legal options, housing instability, trauma impacts, and barriers to accessing services. The solicitation also highlights training and coordination as key components, aiming to build a more consistent community response so that professionals who regularly interact with children and youth can better identify exposure to violence and connect families to specialized services.
