Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2017 11907
The OVW FY 2017 Sexual Assault Services (SAS) Culturally Specific Program Solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2017 11907) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen sexual assault services that are created and delivered by culturally specific organizations. The central idea behind this program is that culturally specific organizations often have the trust, community knowledge, language capacity, and culturally grounded approaches needed to effectively support survivors of sexual assault within communities that may be underserved or face unique barriers to accessing mainstream services.
The stated goal of the SAS Culturally Specific Program is to create, maintain, and expand sustainable sexual assault services provided by culturally specific organizations. In practice, this means OVW is looking to fund organizations that can either build new sexual assault victim services, stabilize and improve existing services, or broaden services so they reach more survivors and do so over the long term. The emphasis on sustainability signals that OVW is not only interested in short-term activities, but also in helping organizations develop services and infrastructure that can continue beyond the grant period. Because the program is specifically focused on culturally specific populations, the services supported under this opportunity are expected to be responsive to the cultural contexts, experiences, and needs of the survivors being served, including barriers that may relate to language access, immigration concerns, community stigma, distrust of systems, geographic isolation, or a lack of culturally relevant service options.
This opportunity uses a grant funding instrument and is categorized under “Other” as the funding activity category (as referenced in the solicitation’s text field explanation). The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.023, which corresponds to OVW’s sexual assault services-related federal assistance listings. The solicitation was created on December 20, 2016, with an original closing date of February 7, 2017, reflecting the formal application window for FY 2017 funding.
Funding under this solicitation includes an award ceiling of $300,000 per award, with OVW expecting to make approximately 11 awards. While the ceiling indicates the maximum amount an applicant could request or receive, it also helps applicants understand the typical scale of projects OVW intends to support through this funding round. The expected number of awards suggests a competitive process in which OVW will select a limited group of grantees whose proposals best align with the program’s goals and requirements.
Eligibility for this specific solicitation, as provided in the source data, is limited to “Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education.” This eligibility statement is notable because many federal solicitations emphasize 501(c)(3) status for nonprofit eligibility; here, the eligible applicant category explicitly references nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (and separately notes institutions of higher education). Applicants would typically need to pay close attention to how OVW defines “culturally specific organization” and what documentation or organizational characteristics are required to demonstrate eligibility and alignment with culturally specific service delivery expectations.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at improving access to survivor-centered, culturally grounded sexual assault services by investing in organizations that are positioned to serve specific communities effectively. By focusing on culturally specific organizations, OVW is directing resources toward approaches that are more likely to be trusted and utilized by survivors in targeted populations, while also building long-term capacity for specialized sexual assault support services.Apply for OVW 2017 11907
