OpportunityTitle: OVC FY 14 Vision 21: Using Technology to Expand National and International Access to Victim Services
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with the financial and administrative capacity to manage a federal award funding either (as appropriate for the project proposed) a national-scope project serving crime victims within the United States at the national level, or a project serving U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents victimized while outside of the U.S., or a combination of the two. Applicants must demonstrate a unique capability and strong desire to reach and serve victims of crime through a project that is national and/or international in scope. A private nonprofit organization does not have to have 501(c)(3) status to apply for grant funding under this solicitation.
Description: This competitive program will make up to 10 awards of $150,000 to $750,000 each to support projects that propose to use technology creatively to provide outreach and direct assistance to victims, particularly those who have never been served or for whom services are not readily available, nationally and/or internationally (for Americans abroad). OVC plans to fund three categories of projects: National-Scope Victim Service Initiatives, National Scope Victim Service Initiatives Proposing To Serve Underserved Victims Identified by the Applicant, and Victim Service Initiatives for American Victims of Domestic Violence and/or Sexual Assault Abroad. Organizations may apply for funding under any or all of the three categories; however, applicants must submit a separate application for each proposed project. Those applying are urged to begin in advance of the May 15, 2014, deadline.
