Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2015 Justice for Families Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2015 4035) was a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), aimed at improving how the justice system responds to families impacted by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The central focus of the program was to help affected families navigate courts and related legal processes more safely and effectively, while strengthening coordinated justice system practices so that survivors and their children are better protected and supported during and after legal proceedings. The funding activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the related CFDA listing was 16.021 (Justice Systems Response to Families).
OVW anticipated making about 30 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding amount of $13,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (award floor) and $500,000 (award ceiling). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. This structure was designed to make the program accessible to a wide range of jurisdictions and community-based organizations that may not have had the budget flexibility to meet match requirements.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. It also included Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This mix of eligible applicants reflected the program's intent to support both governmental justice system entities and nonprofit partners that often provide direct services, advocacy, and coordination in family court and related settings.
The solicitation was posted and created on December 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of February 11, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on March 13, 2015. Applicants seeking details beyond the summary information were directed to the official announcement link for the OVW FY 2015 Justice for Families Program.
