Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalition Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2916) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The purpose of the program is to strengthen and expand the capacity of Tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions so they can better support survivors, advocates, Indian women's organizations, and victim service providers working to end violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at helping coalitions grow their effectiveness as statewide or regional backbone organizations in Tribal communities by improving coordination, strengthening services and advocacy, and supporting survivor-centered approaches that reflect the realities and needs of Native communities.
Funding under this opportunity is intended to support activities such as policy development, education and training, community organizing, leadership development, and related capacity-building work. While the listing includes broad funding activity categories (including education, health, housing, humanities/cultural affairs, information and statistics, and transportation), the program's emphasis is clearly on systems-level change and coalition development rather than direct service delivery alone. The underlying goal is to build sustainable infrastructure and leadership within Tribal coalitions so they can improve responses to domestic violence and sexual assault, elevate survivor voices, and strengthen the network of culturally relevant victim services and advocacy across Tribal communities.
OVW anticipated making about 15 awards through this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $3.4 million. Individual awards could be as high as $300,000 (award ceiling), and the minimum award amount was not set (award floor listed as $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes the program more accessible to organizations that may not have the resources to provide a non-federal match.
Eligible applicants were nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education. The funding is associated with CFDA number 16.557, titled the Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program. The opportunity was posted on March 23, 2011, originally closed on April 21, 2011, and the closing date was extended to April 28, 2011. The archive date was May 28, 2011, indicating the announcement was no longer active after that point.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, OVW provided direct contact information for the OVW Tribal Coalitions Unit, including a phone number (202-307-6026) and email address (OVW.TribalCoalitions@usdoj.gov).
