Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program (Sexual Assault and/or Tribal Focus) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), under Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3690. It falls within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is tied to CFDA 16.524 (Legal Assistance for Victims). The core purpose of the opportunity was to support civil legal assistance for victims, with a particular emphasis on projects that focus on sexual assault and/or address the needs of Tribal communities. In practical terms, the program is designed to expand or strengthen access to attorneys and related legal services that help victims navigate civil legal issues connected to victimization, improving safety, stability, and access to justice through the civil legal system rather than through prosecution or criminal defense.
The total estimated funding available through this solicitation was $38,000,000, with OVW anticipating approximately 75 awards. Individual awards could be as large as $500,000 (the award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument was a grant, and the opportunity category was discretionary, indicating awards would be made through a competitive application process rather than by formula.
Eligibility was broad across several organizational types commonly involved in victim services and legal advocacy. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. This set of eligible entities reflects the program's intent to fund direct service providers and legal assistance programs, as well as institutions that may operate clinics, provide training, or support service delivery in partnership with community-based organizations, including those serving Tribal communities.
