Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2010 SASP Culturally Specific Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2010 2489) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to strengthen services for sexual assault victims through culturally specific approaches. The core purpose is to support the establishment, maintenance, and expansion of culturally specific intervention and related assistance, meaning programs are expected to provide victim services that are grounded in the language, values, traditions, and lived experiences of the communities they serve, rather than offering one-size-fits-all assistance. The funding is tied to the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (CFDA 16.017), and it emphasizes practical, community-centered victim services that improve access and outcomes for underserved or historically marginalized populations.
Awards under this opportunity are made as cooperative agreements, which generally means OVW may have a more active role than in a standard grant, such as providing guidance, monitoring, or collaboration on implementation expectations. The funding activity category is listed under “Victim Services,” reinforcing that the program focus is direct or closely related assistance for victims of sexual assault, including culturally specific advocacy and interventions. OVW anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,200,000. The award ceiling was $300,000 per award, indicating awards were intended to be relatively substantial but limited in size to support multiple recipients nationwide.
Eligible applicants were nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can lower barriers for smaller or community-rooted culturally specific organizations that may have limited fundraising capacity.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on January 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 4, 2010, and an archive date of April 3, 2010, meaning the solicitation is historical and no longer open. For applicants at the time, OVW provided an additional information link to the full solicitation document (http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/docs/sasp cultural.pdf), and offered support through the OVW main line at 202-307-6026 and the email address OVW.SASP.Cutlural@usdoj.gov for help accessing the announcement or addressing submission issues.
Overall, this grant opportunity reflects OVW’s broader mission to improve safety and justice for victims by ensuring sexual assault services are accessible and effective for diverse communities, particularly by investing in organizations that deliver culturally specific services and interventions tailored to the realities and needs of the populations they serve.
