Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Grants to Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), focused on strengthening tribal coalition efforts to address domestic violence and sexual assault impacting American Indian and Alaska Native women. The program is aimed at building broader public and community awareness of these forms of violence, improving how systems respond to survivors across tribal, federal, and state levels, and expanding practical, on-the-ground support to coalition members and tribal communities through technical assistance and coordinated capacity-building.
At its core, the grant is structured to help tribal coalitions play a stronger leadership role in prevention, education, and systems improvement. That includes efforts that elevate visibility and understanding of domestic and sexual violence in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, improve cross-jurisdiction coordination and responses, and provide training, guidance, and technical support to member programs and communities. The funding activity category is listed as community development, reflecting the emphasis on community-driven infrastructure, coordination, and long-term capacity rather than one-off services.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit, nongovernmental tribal coalitions that are already established and that address domestic violence and sexual assault against American Indian and Alaska Native women. The solicitation also allows for applicants that are not yet incorporated, as long as they propose to incorporate as nonprofit, nongovernmental tribal coalitions, which is meant to support emerging coalition entities that are formalizing their structure to serve their member programs and tribal communities. In the federal listing, eligible applicants are shown as "Others," with the key clarification provided in the eligibility text restricting awards to the tribal coalition entities described above.
The opportunity is offered as a grant (not a contract), and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can be important for coalitions that may have limited flexible resources. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.557 (Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program). The stated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $595,000, and the minimum award amount (award floor) is listed as $0, indicating that award sizes can vary and that applicants should look closely at the solicitation guidance for what OVW expects in terms of scope, activities, and budget alignment.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number OVW 2009 2124 and a posting date of March 18, 2009. The original and current closing date for applications is April 17, 2009, and the archive date is May 17, 2009, meaning the posting is an archived historical opportunity rather than an open competition today. For applicants or interested parties who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, OVW provided a contact phone number (202-307-6026) and pointed to "Tribal Coalitions Solicitation Information" as the additional information link where the full solicitation requirements, allowable activities, and application instructions would be described in detail.
