Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Grants to Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3703) is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), aimed specifically at supporting recognized tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions. The program sits under CFDA 16.557 (Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program) and is categorized as a grant funding instrument focused on “tribal coalitions,” reflecting its purpose of strengthening coalition-level capacity and coordination in addressing domestic violence and sexual assault in tribal communities.
Applications were required to be submitted electronically through DOJ’s Grants Management System (GMS), and applicants were directed to consult the solicitation’s “How to Apply” instructions, including GMS registration details referenced as being on page 9 of the solicitation. This requirement signals that the program uses DOJ’s standardized online workflow for submissions, attachments, and application tracking, meaning eligible coalitions needed to ensure they were properly registered and able to submit a complete package through the portal by the deadline.
Eligibility was limited to recognized tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions (listed in the opportunity under “Eligible Applicants” with additional eligibility clarification stating “recognized tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions”). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means coalitions were not required to provide a financial match to receive an award. OVW anticipated making about 17 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,472,000 and an award ceiling of $329,000 per award, indicating a competitive opportunity designed to distribute funding across multiple coalitions while setting a clear upper limit on the size of individual grants.
Key dates for this solicitation included a posted and creation date of January 22, 2014, an application closing date of March 3, 2014 (unchanged from the original closing date), and an archive date of April 2, 2014. These dates establish the official application window and the point at which the opportunity was formally archived, which matters for recordkeeping and for understanding that the solicitation was time-limited to FY 2014 funding.
For assistance, OVW provided a direct contact for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically: Marnie Shiels at (202) 305-2981, along with an email address for program-related inquiries: ovw.tribalcoalitions@usdoj.gov.
