Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific Services for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2013 3406) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to strengthen culturally specific, community-based responses for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking by supporting nonprofit organizations that deliver services designed to be culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate for the communities they serve. The program is listed under CFDA 16.016 (Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program) and reflects a broad set of allowable activity areas that touch education, health, housing, income security and social services, and law, justice, and legal services.
The opportunity is aimed at nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status), as long as they are not institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means community-based nonprofits that are rooted in and accountable to specific cultural communities are the intended applicants, particularly those positioned to provide services that are responsive to cultural norms, language access needs, and community-specific barriers that victims often face when seeking help or navigating systems.
OVW anticipated making about 20 awards under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $300,000 per grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to entry for smaller or resource-limited organizations that may not have the ability to raise match funds. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the overall structure indicates competitive, project-based funding intended to expand or enhance direct services and related supports that are culturally specific.
Key dates for this solicitation include a posted date of February 5, 2013, and a closing date of March 27, 2013 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is April 26, 2013, indicating when the listing was set to be removed from active display in the federal opportunities archive.
A notable administrative detail in this announcement is the accommodation OVW provided due to a SAM.gov outage affecting the Entity Management component at the time. For applicants unable to register a new entity or update an existing entity record because of that outage, OVW stated it would accept applications through both Grants.gov and the DOJ Grants Management System (GMS). Applicants choosing the GMS route were directed to submit through https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmsexternal/. OVW also clarified that despite the alternate submission pathway, the application deadline remained unchanged.
For applicant support and access issues, the contact person listed is Kimberly Cortez, reachable by phone at 202 353 3923, particularly for those who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
