Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Sexual Assault Services Culturally Specific Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen sexual assault crisis intervention and advocacy services that are led by culturally specific organizations. The central idea behind the program is that organizations rooted in specific communities are often best positioned to provide victim-centered, culturally relevant support for survivors of sexual assault, especially when survivors face additional barriers related to language access, immigration concerns, historical trauma, discrimination, isolation, or distrust of mainstream systems.
This funding opportunity focuses on helping culturally specific organizations create new services, maintain existing programs, and expand service capacity in ways that are sustainable over time. In practice, that means supporting organizations that already have strong community ties and cultural knowledge so they can deliver services that meet survivors where they are, using approaches that reflect the communitys values and lived experiences. The program falls under the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program umbrella (CFDA 16.017), but this specific opportunity is competitively awarded and targeted to culturally specific service providers.
OVW anticipated making about 7 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $2.3 million. Individual awards could be as high as $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes the program more accessible to smaller or resource-limited nonprofits that might not be able to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match.
Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is described as sexual assault crisis intervention and advocacy services. While the notice does not list specific allowable activities in the excerpt provided, the category description signals that supported work is meant to be survivor-facing and service-oriented, such as crisis response, advocacy, and related supportive services delivered through culturally specific frameworks.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number OVW 2013 3399 and a posted date of January 30, 2013. The application deadline was March 7, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on April 6, 2013. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Melissa Schmisek at OVW, reachable by phone at 202-305-1271.
