Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Sexual Assault Services Culturally Specific Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2903) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It supports the Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) through cooperative agreements focused on strengthening direct services for sexual assault victims in culturally specific communities. The central idea behind the program is that culturally specific organizations are often best positioned to deliver services that feel safe, relevant, and accessible to survivors whose needs may not be fully met by mainstream systems.
This grant targets nonprofit organizations that primarily serve culturally specific populations and can demonstrate experience providing sexual assault services, or that partner with another organization that has that sexual assault expertise. In practice, the opportunity is designed to help these organizations create new sexual assault services, maintain existing services, and expand capacity in ways that are sustainable over time. The emphasis on sustainability signals that OVW is looking for programs that can build lasting infrastructure, community trust, and consistent service delivery rather than one-time, short-lived projects.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means OVW expects a higher level of federal involvement than a standard grant. While the notice text provided does not detail the specific nature of that involvement, cooperative agreements typically include ongoing collaboration, guidance, or coordination with the funding agency around project implementation, reporting, or program development.
For FY 2011, OVW anticipated making about five awards under this program. The estimated total funding available was $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per award and no stated award floor. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for smaller community-based organizations that may have limited unrestricted funds.
Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure reflects an effort to include community-based and grassroots organizations that may be structured in different ways, while still keeping the focus on nonprofit service providers rather than colleges and universities.
The program is categorized under CFDA number 16.017, associated with the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program, and the funding activity area is described as sexual assault victim services. The opportunity was posted on January 31, 2011, with an application deadline of March 15, 2011, and it was archived on April 14, 2011. Applicants seeking the full solicitation details were directed to an OVW document link, and OVW provided direct contact options for help accessing the announcement, including the OVW main line at 202-307-6026 and the email OVW.SASP.Cultural@usdoj.gov.
Overall, the purpose of this opportunity is to strengthen culturally specific, victim-centered sexual assault services by investing in organizations that have deep ties to the communities they serve, and by supporting approaches that reflect cultural context, community experience, and survivor needs in a way that mainstream service models may not always provide.
