OVW FY 2010 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Assistance Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The OVW FY 2010 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen how rural communities prevent and respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The central purpose is to support on-the-ground projects in rural jurisdictions that improve safety, expand access to services for victims and survivors, and build more effective local systems for holding offenders accountable. In practice, this funding is meant to help rural areas address the unique challenges they face, such as geographic isolation, limited service capacity, transportation barriers, small or understaffed law enforcement agencies, and fewer specialized victim services.

This opportunity was posted on January 11, 2010, and applications were due February 18, 2010, with an archive date of March 20, 2010. Awards are issued as grants (not cooperative agreements), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes the program more accessible to smaller rural organizations that may not have flexible local funding. The maximum award amount listed is $900,000, indicating OVW anticipated supporting substantial multi-partner projects that can combine direct services, community coordination, and system improvements.

The program is tied to CFDA number 16.589, labeled the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program. The funding activity category is listed under Law, Justice and Legal Services, with additional references to humanities/cultural affairs in the cataloging fields, but the core focus is clearly violence against women and related crimes, including sexual assault and stalking. Overall, the emphasis is on comprehensive rural strategies that address both prevention and response, which often means improving collaboration among victim service providers, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, healthcare providers, and community-based organizations.

Eligible applicants include a broad mix of government and community entities that commonly operate in rural settings or serve rural residents. This includes state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions); and both private institutions of higher education and other relevant entities identified in the eligibility list. That wide eligibility range signals OVW intent to support projects led by local governments and nonprofits, as well as partnerships that may include campuses, housing authorities, and tribal entities where appropriate.

Applicants were directed to the full solicitation document via the OVW link (a PDF titled FY2010 rural solicitations), which would contain the detailed program requirements, allowable and unallowable costs, required project elements, performance measures, and application instructions. For help accessing or navigating the announcement, OVW provided a main phone line (202-307-6026) and an email contact (OVW.Rural@usdoj.gov).
