Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3695) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The program focused on supporting efforts in rural communities to address and reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Its overall purpose was to strengthen local and regional responses to these forms of violence in areas that often face unique challenges such as geographic isolation, limited access to victim services, transportation barriers, fewer culturally specific resources, and smaller justice-system infrastructures. The funding activity categories connected to the opportunity included health, housing, and law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the program's broad goal of improving safety, services, and system coordination rather than funding a single type of intervention.
This opportunity anticipated making around 40 awards. The associated CFDA number was 16.589, which corresponds to the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute a required cash or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the grant (though applicants could still leverage other resources to strengthen their proposals).
Eligibility was relatively broad and included several types of entities that commonly lead or partner in rural violence-prevention and victim-service work. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This range of eligible applicants reflects OVW's emphasis on community-based responses that may be led by governments, tribes, nonprofits, or public higher education institutions, often working collaboratively across service providers and justice partners.
The solicitation was posted and created on December 13, 2013. The closing date for applications was January 23, 2014, with no change between the original and current closing dates. The opportunity was later archived on February 22, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Justice online Grants Management System (GMS). The announcement specifically emphasized that all applications had to go through GMS and directed applicants to the "How to Apply" section of the solicitation for instructions, including how to register in GMS, noting that registration details were addressed on page 11 of the solicitation.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Kara Moller, Grant Program Specialist at OVW.
