OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Services to Advocate For and Respond to Youth Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Services to Advocate For and Respond to Youth Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2908) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect a more active federal role than in a typical formula grant, often including ongoing coordination, reporting expectations, and programmatic guidance from OVW. The overall purpose is to strengthen and expand services for teen and young adult victims who have been affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, with a specific emphasis on advocacy and direct responses that meet the distinct needs of younger survivors.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit, nongovernmental entities and community-based organizations, as well as federally recognized Indian tribal governments and tribal organizations. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status may apply (so long as they are not institutions of higher education), and tribal entities are explicitly included to support culturally specific and community-driven approaches. The opportunity is designed for organizations that already provide, or are positioned to provide, services specifically tailored to teens and young adults impacted by the covered forms of violence. In practice, this typically aligns with programs offering victim advocacy, crisis intervention, supportive services, and coordinated responses that improve safety, access to help, and victim-centered engagement for youth.

The funding instrument supports activities that sit at the intersection of community development, health, and justice-related services. While the source summary does not list allowable cost categories line-by-line, the program title and OVW’s general approach indicate a focus on service delivery and advocacy rather than purely academic research or broad prevention campaigns. Applicants should expect the core expectations to center on improving how communities identify, support, and respond to youth survivors, potentially including strengthened referral networks, trauma-informed advocacy, improved coordination with schools and youth-serving systems, and better access to legal and supportive services appropriate to minors and young adults.

OVW anticipated making 15 awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $300,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier to participation for smaller community-based providers. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally reflects that OVW may vary award sizes based on the scope and quality of proposed work rather than guaranteeing a minimum amount. Key dates for this opportunity were a posted and created date of January 25, 2011, an application closing date of March 16, 2011 (original and current), and an archive date of April 15, 2011, meaning the solicitation is historical and no longer open, but still useful as a reference for understanding OVW youth services priorities and how similar future solicitations may be structured.
