Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2914) is a mandatory, formula-based grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and is tied to CFDA number 16.588, Violence Against Women Formula Grants. As a formula program, it is designed to distribute funds to jurisdictions based on statutory or established allocation rules rather than through a fully competitive scoring process, with the goal of ensuring every eligible jurisdiction has access to resources to address violence against women through coordinated criminal justice and community responses.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and OVW anticipated making awards across 56 recipients, reflecting the nationwide nature of the program (typically encompassing states and territories). The award floor is listed as $0 and the award ceiling is $15,000,000, indicating that individual state allocations can vary widely depending on the formula and available appropriations, with some recipients receiving relatively small amounts and others receiving substantially larger allocations. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning states are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, which can reduce barriers for participation and allow states to focus on program delivery and compliance.
The announcement was posted and created on January 25, 2011. The original and current closing date for applications was February 23, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on March 25, 2011. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is listed as mandatory, reinforcing that this is a formula distribution program tied to authorizing statute and appropriations rather than a discretionary grant competition. In practical terms, this program supports statewide implementation and improvement of strategies intended to prevent and respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, typically by strengthening law enforcement and prosecution practices, expanding victim services, improving court responses, and promoting coordinated community approaches that bring together criminal justice agencies and victim service providers.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, OVW provided direct support through its main line at 202-307-6026 and by email at OVW.STOP@usdoj.gov.
