Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2016 Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (USDOJ-OJP-OVW), authorized under 42 U.S.C. 14045. Its focus is on improving how communities reach and support people who experience domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, particularly when those victims are part of underserved populations. The intent is not only to provide direct services to adult and youth victims, but also to strengthen the systems and organizations that serve them so that services are more accessible, culturally appropriate, inclusive, and effective.
Funding under this opportunity is designed to help applicants develop and implement targeted outreach strategies that connect underserved survivors to help that is safe, relevant, and responsive to their needs. In practice, that means projects may concentrate on removing barriers that often keep underserved victims from seeking or receiving support, such as language access issues, distrust of systems, lack of culturally specific services, geographic isolation, disability-related access barriers, or other obstacles that limit a survivor's ability to get assistance. The program emphasizes enhanced victim services and a clear commitment to meeting survivors where they are through outreach that is tailored to specific communities rather than generic, one-size-fits-all approaches.
A major component of the grant is capacity building for both mainstream victim service organizations and organizations that specifically serve underserved populations. The idea is to improve the ability of established service providers to deliver culturally appropriate and inclusive services, while also strengthening community-based and culturally specific organizations so they can expand services, improve infrastructure, and better coordinate with partners. Alongside direct services and organizational development, the opportunity supports increased training and outreach activities, particularly training and outreach targeted at organizations that provide services to underserved populations. This can include efforts to improve professional readiness, increase awareness of survivor needs, and build stronger referral networks so victims can access comprehensive support.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $300,000, with an estimated 16 awards expected. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is listed under CFDA number 16.889 and is categorized under education and other related funding activities. The funding opportunity number is OVW 2016 9151. The announcement was posted on January 12, 2016, and the application deadline was March 9, 2016 (with both the original and current closing dates listed as the same).
