Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to support efforts in rural communities to address and reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking through improved services, coordination, and justice-system responses. The program is tied to CFDA 16.589 and falls under the broader public function of law, justice, and legal services. In practice, this funding is designed to strengthen how rural areas prevent violence, respond to victims and survivors, and hold offenders accountable, recognizing that rural communities often face unique barriers such as geographic isolation, limited service providers, transportation challenges, confidentiality concerns in small communities, and fewer specialized resources.
For FY 2013, OVW anticipated making about 40 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $34,000,000. The award instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically makes participation more feasible for smaller jurisdictions and community-based organizations that may not have the budget flexibility to meet a match. The opportunity was posted on February 7, 2013, with an application closing date of March 26, 2013 (the original and current closing date are the same), and it was archived on April 25, 2013.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility range reflects OVW's emphasis on supporting both governmental and nonprofit entities that are positioned to operate victim services, coordinate multi-agency responses, and implement community-based strategies in rural settings. While the summary provided does not list specific allowable activities, OVW rural program funding generally supports work such as enhancing victim advocacy and support services, improving law enforcement and prosecution capacity related to these crimes, increasing access to culturally appropriate and trauma-informed services, strengthening collaboration between justice agencies and victim service providers, and building or improving coordinated community responses that are tailored to rural realities.
A notable administrative detail in this posting is that SAM.gov was experiencing an outage affecting the Entity Management component. Because that outage could prevent applicants from registering a new entity or updating an existing entity record, OVW stated it would accept applications not only through Grants.gov but also through the DOJ Grants Management System (GMS). Applicants choosing GMS were directed to submit via https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmsexternal/. Importantly, OVW clarified that despite the technical workaround, the application deadline would remain unchanged, meaning applicants were still responsible for ensuring timely submission by March 26, 2013.
For additional assistance, the notice provides a direct contact for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically: Kara Moller at (202) 616-3464. This contact point is intended to help applicants obtain the complete solicitation materials and navigate access issues so they can prepare an application consistent with OVW requirements.
