Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP Formula Grant Program) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), under Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3701. The purpose of this program is to send formula-based grant funding to States and Territories so they can strengthen and sustain services for victims of sexual assault. Rather than funding individual local applicants directly, the program routes funds through eligible state-level government recipients, who then use those dollars to support community-based service providers.
At its core, the SASP Formula Grant Program is focused on victim services, especially those delivered by rape crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations. The solicitation emphasizes support for organizations that provide core services, direct intervention, and related assistance to sexual assault victims. In practice, this typically includes services such as crisis intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, information and referrals, and other forms of victim-centered support that help survivors navigate immediate safety needs and longer-term recovery. The stated intent is to ensure that these essential, frontline services remain available and accessible across a state or territory.
A key feature of the program is that SASP funds are meant to supplement, not replace, other funding streams that address sexual assault at the state or territorial level. This means the grant is positioned as an added resource to expand capacity, fill service gaps, stabilize programs, or enhance statewide service systems, rather than being treated as the only or primary funding source. The overall funding activity category is described as Sexual Assault Victim Services, reflecting the program’s specialized focus.
Eligibility is limited to state governments (which, in the context of this program, includes States and Territories). The opportunity anticipated 56 awards, consistent with distributing formula funds across U.S. jurisdictions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers barriers for participation and allows jurisdictions to apply without needing to commit additional non-federal funds as a match.
Administratively, the solicitation requires that all applications be submitted through DOJ’s online Grants Management System (GMS). Applicants are directed to consult the “How to Apply†section of the solicitation (specifically referencing registration instructions on page 9) to ensure they are properly registered and able to submit by the deadline. For this funding cycle, the opportunity was posted on January 16, 2014, and the application deadline (original and current) was February 6, 2014, with the archive date listed as March 8, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.017 (Sexual Assault Services Formula Program).
For those needing help accessing the full announcement or experiencing issues obtaining the solicitation materials, the listed contact is Kim Cortez at 202-353-3923 or kimberly.a.cortez@usdoj.gov.
