Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2019 15603
The OVW FY 2019 Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2019 15603) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), under CFDA 16.024. Its purpose is to provide direct financial support to strengthen sexual assault services in Indian country and in Alaska Native villages. The core focus is practical service delivery: helping communities create new sexual assault programs where none exist, maintain existing services that are already serving survivors, and expand or improve the reach and quality of those services so they are more available, accessible, and responsive to local needs.
The program is specifically designed for Native communities and recognizes that effective sexual assault services in tribal settings often need to be community-driven, culturally grounded, and able to operate in remote or resource-limited environments. Funding is intended to support efforts that directly benefit survivors of sexual assault, including building service capacity and infrastructure, improving coordination among service providers, and ensuring survivors can obtain supportive, victim-centered assistance. While the opportunity description is brief, OVW programs in this area generally emphasize survivor safety, confidentiality, and approaches that reduce barriers to seeking help, particularly in places where geography, limited service availability, and jurisdictional complexities can make access to care and advocacy more difficult.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. The public description also indicates the program funds tribes, tribal consortiums, tribal organizations, and nonprofit tribal organizations, reflecting the intent to reach a range of tribal entities capable of delivering or organizing sexual assault services. Awards under this solicitation had an anticipated maximum (award ceiling) of $325,000 per award, with approximately 10 awards expected, indicating a relatively competitive funding pool aimed at supporting a limited number of grantees at meaningful funding levels.
Key administrative details for this FY 2019 opportunity include a posting (creation) date of January 16, 2019, and an original application closing date of March 5, 2019. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other" as defined by the solicitation. Overall, the opportunity is centered on building and sustaining direct sexual assault services for survivors in tribal communities, with OVW providing targeted resources to improve service availability and strengthen long-term community capacity.Apply for OVW 2019 15603
