Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2010 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). It is designed to strengthen how communities prevent and respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking when the victim is a person with a disability, with a clear emphasis on improving both systems-level responses and the availability and quality of direct services. The program supports work that builds practical capacity through education, training, consultation, and information-sharing so that agencies and service providers are better prepared to recognize abuse, remove barriers to reporting and safety, and deliver survivor-centered services that are accessible and effective for individuals with disabilities.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically means OVW expects to have an active role in the funded work beyond simply issuing a grant, often through ongoing collaboration, guidance, and monitoring tied to federal program goals. For FY 2010, OVW anticipated making about 11 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $400,000 (award floor) and $600,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible organizations and governments to apply and implement projects.
A wide range of applicants were eligible, reflecting OVW's intent to support coordinated community responses and disability-specific expertise. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized as governments; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.529, and the activity areas align with education, law and justice/legal services, and related work tied to disability, sexual violence, and domestic violence.
Key dates for the FY 2010 cycle show the opportunity was posted on January 19, 2010 (created January 15, 2010), with an application deadline of March 9, 2010, and an archive date of April 8, 2010.

Overall, the grant program is aimed at closing long-standing gaps where survivors with disabilities may face higher risk, more obstacles to help-seeking, and fewer accessible services, by funding projects that build knowledge, improve institutional responses, and expand enhanced, accessible services for this population.
