Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2023 171844
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) Community Awareness Projects for the 2024 observance. The central purpose of the grant is to fund a single organization that will act as an intermediary, meaning it will not only carry out the overall project but will also pass through financial and technical support to local communities. The intent is to help communities run public education and outreach efforts during NCVRW that highlight crime victims' rights and connect people to available victim services in their own jurisdictions.
At a policy level, the opportunity is framed around the broader Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities of advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims and others impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practice, this means the awareness activities supported under this project are expected to be inclusive and accessible, aimed at reaching a wide range of community members and making victim rights and services easier to understand and find.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more hands-on partnership between the federal agency and the recipient compared to a standard grant. Under this structure, the selected organization would be responsible for organizing and administering assistance to roughly 80 communities nationwide. This generally implies creating a process for selecting participating communities, distributing funds or mini-grants (or similar forms of support), offering guidance and training, and helping ensure local activities align with NCVRW goals and federal expectations for outreach, accessibility, and impact.
A notable feature of the program is that, even though an intermediary will manage the community support component, the OVC Director retains final decision-making authority over which communities ultimately receive funding through this initiative. That detail clarifies that community selection is not purely up to the intermediary and will be subject to OVC leadership approval.
From the posted funding details, OVC anticipated making one award total, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 16.582, is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and was posted on July 28, 2023, with an original application deadline of August 8, 2023. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation materials, suggesting that the program is targeted to a specific invited entity or a limited set of potential applicants as described in the eligibility section.
The statutory authority cited for the program is 34 USC 20103(c)(1)(A), which provides the legal basis for OVC to support these types of victim-focused awareness and assistance activities. Overall, the opportunity is designed to create a national multiplier effect: fund one capable organization to coordinate resources and know-how, and use that infrastructure to help dozens of communities deliver timely, visible, and locally relevant NCVRW public awareness efforts centered on victims' rights and services.Apply for O OVC 2023 171844
