Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2010 Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2010 2393) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to strengthen both civil and criminal legal assistance for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including both adults and youth. The central focus is on helping victims address legal problems that arise directly because of the abuse or violence, so the funding is geared toward building or expanding legal services that improve victim safety, increase offender accountability, and help survivors obtain meaningful legal relief.

OVW projected making about 90 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $49,000,000. Individual awards could be as large as $650,000. A key practical feature of this solicitation is that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to entry for eligible organizations that may not have flexible funds available to meet a match.
Eligible applicants include a range of nonprofit and higher education entities, as well as tribal governments and tribal organizations. Specifically, eligibility covers nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. The solicitation also notes an eligibility clarification that publicly funded organizations not acting in a governmental capacity can apply, with law schools given as an example.
