Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), focused on improving access to outreach and victim services for people who are often left out of traditional systems of support. The program is designed to help organizations develop and carry out targeted outreach strategies for adult and youth victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking within underserved populations, and then deliver services that actually fit the needs of those communities. In practice, that means funding projects that do more than general awareness or generic service delivery. The emphasis is on culturally and contextually specific engagement, building trust, and removing barriers that keep underserved victims from getting help.
This particular solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3851) was posted on April 29, 2014, with an application deadline of May 28, 2014, and it was later archived on June 27, 2014. OVW anticipated making about 11 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,323,512. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is important for smaller nonprofits and community-based providers that may not have flexible funds to contribute as match.
Eligible applicants included nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), certain “other†entities as described in the solicitation’s eligibility section, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and governmental rape crisis centers that meet the statutory criteria referenced at 42 USC 13925(a)(25). The overall funding activity category is listed as “Other,†with the category explanation clarifying the real focus areas: underserved populations, outreach, and direct services. That framing signals that OVW was looking for proposals centered on practical, on-the-ground victim assistance paired with intentional strategies to identify and reach survivors who may not come forward through typical channels.
A key administrative detail for applicants is that submissions were not made through Grants.gov. Instead, applicants were required to apply through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS). The solicitation explicitly directs applicants to the “How to Apply†section (page 9) for step-by-step instructions, which matters because using the wrong submission portal can disqualify an application even if the program concept is strong. For anyone who could not access the full announcement electronically or needed help with the posting, the listed contact was Amy Loder at OVW (202-305-2971, Amy.Loder@usdoj.gov).
Overall, the opportunity reflects OVW’s broader goal of strengthening victim-centered, trauma-informed services by ensuring that support is not limited to survivors who already know how to navigate systems or who live in areas with robust provider networks. The underlying intent is to help organizations close gaps in safety and access by tailoring outreach and services to communities that face language barriers, geographic isolation, disability-related access challenges, cultural stigma, distrust of authorities, immigration-related concerns, or other obstacles that can make seeking help difficult or unsafe.
