Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Grants to State and Territorial Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Coalitions and Sexual Assault Service Programs for State and Territorial Coalitions opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2013 3411) is a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It sits within the law, justice, and legal services category and is tied to CFDA 16.556, which focuses on state domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions. In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening the statewide and territorial coalition infrastructure that supports survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, improves coordinated community responses, and advances prevention, policy, and systems change work that coalitions typically lead on behalf of their member programs.
The solicitation anticipates making 56 awards, indicating broad coverage across states and territories rather than a small pilot effort. While the notice lists an estimated total funding amount as 0 in the summary data, that figure is best understood as “not specified in this record†rather than a statement that no funds are available; applicants would normally rely on the full solicitation for specific award amounts, formulas, or allocation methods. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant, a feature that can be important for coalitions operating with limited unrestricted resources.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This aligns with how state and territorial sexual assault and domestic violence coalitions are typically organized, and it signals that the intended applicants are the recognized statewide or territorial coalition entities rather than local direct service programs applying independently. The opportunity category is listed as “Other,†but the instrument type is a standard grant, meaning funding is provided to support program activities consistent with OVW’s statutory and policy goals rather than a procurement or contract for goods and services.
Operationally, the application process is entirely electronic and must be submitted through the Department of Justice’s online Grants Management System (GMS). The solicitation instructs applicants to consult the “How to Apply†section (referenced as being on page 9 of the solicitation) for steps on registering and submitting in GMS. Key dates for the opportunity are: posted and created on April 9, 2013; with an application closing date of May 22, 2013; and an archive date of June 21, 2013, indicating that the competition is no longer active but remains available for reference.
For applicants or readers who cannot access the full announcement electronically or who need help with the posting, the listed point of contact is Omar Mohammed at OVW, reachable at (202) 305-2381 or Omar.Mohammed@usdoj.gov. The notice also includes an additional information link title pointing to the full OVW FY 2013 solicitation, which would contain the detailed purpose areas, allowable and unallowable costs, required certifications and attachments, reporting expectations, and any formulas or award caps that are not captured in the summary record.
