Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2904) is a mandatory, formula-based grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to advance the Department of Justice mission by supporting victim services for people harmed by sexual assault. In practical terms, the program is designed to help states build and sustain the core service infrastructure that sexual assault survivors rely on, with an emphasis on strengthening rape crisis centers and related programs that provide direct assistance and support.
This opportunity provides funding to support the establishment, maintenance, and expansion of rape crisis centers and other programs or projects that serve sexual assault victims. The focus is on victim services, meaning the funds are intended to improve the availability, stability, and reach of programs that respond to sexual assault and meet survivors needs. While the summary language is broad, the clear intent is capacity-building and service continuity: helping communities maintain existing services, expand them where gaps exist, and develop new or improved service approaches where needed.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the formula nature of the program and the way funds are typically distributed and managed at the state level. The program anticipates 56 awards, which aligns with a nationwide distribution approach rather than a small set of competitive discretionary awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so states are not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds in order to receive or use the award.
The estimated total funding available under this FY 2011 opportunity is $7,800,000. The assistance is offered as a grant, and the associated CFDA number is 16.017 (Sexual Assault Services Formula Program). The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that it falls under victim services, reinforcing that the primary aim is support for survivor-centered service systems rather than, for example, law enforcement operations or prosecution-focused initiatives.
Key dates for this announcement include a posted date of February 28, 2011, with an application closing date of April 5, 2011. The opportunity was archived on May 5, 2011, indicating it is no longer open for applications and is provided for historical/reference purposes. For those seeking the original full announcement text, OVW provided an additional information link (http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/docs/assault services grant.pdf), which would typically include more detail on allowable uses of funds, state administration requirements, reporting, and compliance expectations.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, OVW listed a main telephone line at 202-307-6026 and an email contact at OVW.SASP@usdoj.gov.
