Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies (often called the Consolidated Youth Program) is a discretionary Office on Violence Against Women funding opportunity designed to strengthen community responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking when those harms affect children, teens, and young adults. It brings together and continues work that had previously been funded through four separate OVW programs: Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence (CEV), Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth (Youth Services), the Secondary Schools program known as STEP (Services, Training, Education and Policies to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking in Secondary Schools), and the Engaging Men and Boys program. By consolidating these streams, OVW aimed to make it easier for communities to coordinate prevention and intervention efforts rather than operating in disconnected program silos.
A central theme of the program is collaboration across the systems that touch young people and families. The program encourages partnerships among nonprofit victim service providers, organizations focused on violence prevention, child-serving and youth-serving agencies (covering children ages 0 to 10, youth 11 to 18, and young adults 19 to 24), organizations that work with men and boys, schools, local government entities, and tribes and tribal governments. The intent is to build coordinated strategies that improve safety and support for victims while also improving professional practice and community-wide prevention, including efforts that explicitly involve men and boys as part of the solution.
OVW structured awards under this opportunity around two main project types: Comprehensive Projects and Engaging Men Projects. Comprehensive Projects support child- and youth-centered prevention and intervention activities that reflect community-based collaboration and evidence-informed practices. These projects are expected to cover a full spectrum of approaches, not just direct services, meaning they should incorporate prevention, intervention, treatment, and response components. Examples of the kinds of activities highlighted include providing victim services for children and youth exposed to violence, training professionals to strengthen their interventions and responses, implementing coordinated strategies within secondary schools, offering supportive services for non-offending parents, and building coordinated community responses that specifically target violence affecting children and youth. In practical terms, Comprehensive Projects are meant to knit together victim services, school and community prevention, and improved system responses so that young victims and their families encounter a more consistent and effective network of help.
Engaging Men Projects focus on multi-faceted prevention strategies that mobilize men and boys as allies to prevent violence against women and girls. These projects emphasize community organizing, outreach, public education, and other mobilization strategies that use men as credible messengers and influencers of other men and boys. The underlying goal is to shift norms and behaviors by encouraging men and boys to actively support women and girls and to participate in preventing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, rather than treating prevention as solely a women-led responsibility.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW-2014-3686) was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would generally be expected to work closely with OVW on implementation and oversight. OVW anticipated making about 12 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000, and an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The posting date was December 17, 2013, and the application deadline was February 4, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on March 6, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the program was 16.888.
Eligibility for this particular FY 2014 competition was tied to prior OVW funding history, reflecting its role as a consolidation of earlier programs. Eligible applicants included county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the eligibility information indicates that applicants needed to be connected to earlier cohorts of the precursor programs (including FY 2011 CEV, FY 2011 STEP, FY 2010 or FY 2011 Youth Services, and FY 2010 or FY 2011 Engaging Men), suggesting the competition was designed for organizations or communities already engaged in OVW-supported youth and prevention work and ready to expand or integrate those efforts under the consolidated framework.
The administering agency was the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. For assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed program contact was Darla Sims, Program Specialist (202-514-8818, darla.sims@usdoj.gov).
