Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2015 Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies (often referred to as the Consolidated Youth Program) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It was created through FY 2012, FY 2013, FY 2014, and FY 2015 appropriations as a single, streamlined program that combined four earlier OVW initiatives into one comprehensive funding source. Those consolidated programs were Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth (Youth Services), Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence (CEV), Engaging Men and Youth in Preventing Domestic Violence (EMY), and Supporting Teens through Education and Prevention (STEP). The overall aim of the consolidation is to help communities build stronger, more coordinated responses that both support victims and reduce future violence through prevention and engagement strategies.
At its core, the program funds projects that respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking affecting children, youth, and young adults, while also intentionally involving men and boys as allies in prevention and culture change. OVW emphasizes coordinated community responses, meaning applicants are expected to organize partnerships and shared strategies across organizations rather than working in isolation. Supported activities can include direct services for victims, training for professionals and community partners, improved coordination and collaboration among stakeholders, and the development of intervention, treatment, response, and prevention strategies that are effective for different age groups. The target populations spelled out in the announcement include children ages 0 to 10, youth ages 11 to 18, and young adults ages 19 to 24, alongside efforts that engage men and boys and strengthen their role in combating and preventing violence.
The grant is designed to create a practical bridge between victim services and prevention work by encouraging collaboration among nonprofit victim service providers, violence prevention organizations, agencies and programs serving children and youth, schools, tribes and tribal governments, and local government partners. The intent is to help communities align their approaches so that a young person experiencing violence can access consistent support across systems (for example, advocacy, counseling, school-based supports, and culturally relevant services), while the broader community also invests in prevention efforts that address harmful norms and behaviors. A notable feature of this opportunity is the explicit focus on engaging men and boys, which reflects OVW's interest in expanding prevention strategies that involve those who can play a key role in challenging and changing attitudes and behaviors linked to violence.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW-2015-4046) anticipated making about 14 awards nationwide. OVW estimated total available funding at $10,000,000, with individual awards expected to fall between a floor of $350,000 and a ceiling of $750,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for organizations and communities that may not have access to significant non-federal matching funds. The funding activity category is listed under victim services (with the broader activity category labeled as "Other"), reflecting that awards are intended to strengthen services and systems that support victims while integrating prevention and community engagement components.
Eligibility was open to a range of community-based and governmental entities, including 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education), city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity was posted on February 6, 2015, and closed on March 19, 2015, with an archive date of April 18, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.888, reflecting its placement within OVW's broader portfolio of programs addressing violence against women and related victim services and technical assistance efforts.
