Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2012 Sexual Assault Services Culturally Specific Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2012 3138) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its central goal is to strengthen sexual assault services that are designed and delivered by culturally specific organizations. In practical terms, the program is meant to help these organizations create new services, keep existing services operating, and expand programs so they can continue over time in a stable and sustainable way. The activity focus is direct intervention and related assistance for victims of sexual assault, meaning the funding is aimed at frontline, victim-centered support rather than broad, unrelated organizational projects.
This opportunity was posted on March 7, 2012, with an application deadline of April 16, 2012, and it was archived on May 16, 2012. OVW anticipated making about 7 awards under this program, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,300,000. Individual awards could be as high as $300,000, and the listed award floor is $0, which generally indicates there is not a minimum award amount specified in the public summary. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. This eligibility structure is intended to allow a range of community-based, culturally specific nonprofits to apply, including organizations that may be structured in ways that do not fit the standard 501(c)(3) model but still operate as nonprofits. The program is tied to CFDA number 16.017, which is the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program listing, but this particular funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary, meaning awards are competitively made by the agency rather than distributed by formula to states or territories.
Overall, the grant program emphasizes culturally specific service provision, which typically means services that are rooted in and responsive to the cultural values, language needs, community context, and lived realities of the populations served. The intent is not just to provide short-term assistance, but to build services that last by helping culturally specific organizations develop, maintain, and expand reliable support systems for sexual assault victims, including the kinds of direct services and related victim assistance that remove barriers to safety, healing, and access to help.
