Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program (Tribal SASP) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), focused on strengthening sexual assault crisis intervention and advocacy services in tribal communities. The central purpose of the program was to provide direct funding to tribes, tribal organizations, and nonprofit tribal organizations so they could create new sexual assault services, maintain existing services, and expand service capacity in ways that are sustainable over time. A core emphasis of the program was ensuring that services are culturally relevant and specifically responsive to the needs of sexual assault victims within tribal communities, recognizing that tribal agencies and organizations are often best positioned to deliver victim-centered support that aligns with community values, language, traditions, and local realities.
This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3706 and was categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within a broader funding activity area labeled as "Other," clarified as sexual assault crisis intervention and advocacy services. It was connected to CFDA number 16.017 (Sexual Assault Services Formula Program), indicating alignment with federal efforts to support sexual assault services, while this particular solicitation functioned as a competitive, discretionary OVW initiative targeted to tribal settings.
OVW anticipated making approximately 8 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,300,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $325,000 per award. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally reduces barriers to participation for applicants that may have limited access to non-federal resources and helps ensure tribal and tribal-serving organizations can focus efforts on building and sustaining direct services.
Eligible applicants included Federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments). The design of eligibility reflects an intent to reach both governmental tribal entities and tribally based or tribally affiliated organizations that may deliver frontline services, advocacy, and community-based support. Overall, the program’s framing highlights OVW’s recognition of the importance of services that are not only available, but delivered in a way that is appropriate, accessible, and trusted within tribal communities.
Key dates for the solicitation show that it was posted and created on January 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 12, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on April 11, 2014, indicating that the application window had closed and the solicitation was no longer active after that period.
