Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 12 Education, Training and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities Grant Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), created under the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005. It was designed in response to the ongoing and widespread problem of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking committed against individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals. The program centers on the reality that many victim services, justice responses, and community systems still contain barriers that prevent survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors from getting timely, safe, and effective help, and it aims to drive lasting improvements rather than short-term fixes.
The core goal of the Disability Grant Program is to produce sustainable change within individual organizations and across partnerships of organizations so that services and responses become truly accessible and effective for survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors. In practical terms, that means improving how victim service providers, disability service organizations, Deaf-serving organizations, and other community partners work together so survivors are not turned away, misunderstood, or forced to navigate inaccessible systems. Another major emphasis is accountability for people who commit these crimes, ensuring that improvements in access and support for survivors are paired with coordinated approaches that strengthen the community response and reduce impunity.
Grant funds are intended to help communities build and strengthen multidisciplinary collaborations, expand organizational capacity, and carry out structured planning based on real, identified gaps. Applicants are expected to assess needs within their own organizations and/or service areas, identify barriers that survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors face, and develop a plan to address those needs. The planning and capacity-building focus is meant to create a strong foundation for continued work, including policies, procedures, training, and coordinated practices that can last beyond the grant period. The funding activity is categorized under education and training, with an emphasis on disability-related capacity building and systems improvement.
For FY 2012, OVW anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $400,000 (floor) to $600,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for eligible organizations and governments seeking to apply.
Eligible applicants included state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on February 11, 2012, with an application deadline of March 26, 2012, and it was archived on April 25, 2012. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.529 and funding opportunity number OVW-2012-3137. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Amy Loder at 202-305-2971.
