Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2018 13821
The OVW FY 2018 Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Authorized through the FY 2012 to FY 2017 federal appropriations acts, the program is designed to help communities build stronger, more coordinated responses to violence that affects children, youth, and young adults. At its core, the solicitation emphasizes collaboration across systems that touch young people and survivors, bringing together nonprofit victim service providers, community-based organizations (including groups that specialize in engaging men as allies), schools, tribal nations and tribal governments, and local government agencies. The intent is to move beyond isolated services and instead create community-level prevention, intervention, and response efforts that are aligned, mutually reinforcing, and centered on the needs and realities of young people.
The program focuses on addressing a range of interconnected forms of violence and exploitation, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking. Funding is meant to support strategies that recognize how these harms can directly victimize young people or expose them to trauma in their homes and communities. By prioritizing child- and youth-centered approaches, the solicitation points applicants toward practices that account for developmental stages, safety planning needs, barriers to disclosure, and the importance of trusted institutions like schools and youth-serving organizations. The broader goal is to strengthen what OVW often describes as a coordinated community response, meaning a shared framework where agencies and organizations communicate effectively, clarify roles, improve referrals, and reduce gaps that can leave survivors unsupported.
Applicants are invited to pursue one of two project approaches: a Comprehensive Project or an Engaging Men Project. Comprehensive Projects are intended to implement wide-ranging, youth-focused prevention, intervention, and response strategies. These projects typically aim to improve how communities identify and respond to youth victimization and exposure to violence, increase access to survivor-centered services, and enhance cross-agency coordination so that young people do not have to navigate fragmented systems on their own. Engaging Men Projects, by contrast, center on prevention through the mobilization of men and boys as allies. These projects support multi-faceted prevention strategies that can include community organizing, outreach, and public education, with the specific purpose of reducing violence against women and girls by shifting norms, building accountability, and encouraging positive, active bystander and ally behaviors among men and boys.
The solicitation lists eligible applicants as city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations (including those that are not federally recognized tribal governments), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under CFDA 16.888. The opportunity was posted on January 4, 2018, with an original closing date of February 15, 2018. OVW anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $750,000 per award. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at supporting communities that are ready to coordinate across sectors, strengthen youth-serving responses to violence and exploitation, and invest in prevention approaches that include engaging men and boys as part of a broader community solution.Apply for OVW 2018 13821
