Office on Violence Against Women

The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office on Violence Against Women is a civilian sub-agency within the Justice Department that administers federal grant funding for programs supporting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and related crimes. The Office distributes grants to state, local, and nonprofit organizations to support victim services, law enforcement training, prosecution support, and prevention initiatives across the nation.

The Office has obligated $446.4 million in federal grant funding across 623 awards since 2006, distributed to 483 distinct recipients. Grant-making activity accelerated significantly in recent years: 33 awards in 2012, 48 in 2013, 98 in 2014, 119 in 2015, and 264 in 2016 — the most recent award date on record. The most recent grant award closed more than ten years ago, indicating no active grant-making rollup recorded against the Office or its descendant offices since late 2016.

The assistance-type mix is dominated by Block Grants, which account for 266 awards (43 percent of the portfolio), followed by Project Grants (187 awards, 30 percent), Formula Grants (88 awards, 14 percent), and Cooperative Agreements (82 awards, 13 percent). This distribution reflects the Office's core approach of channeling formula-based and block-grant resources to state administering agencies alongside targeted project grants for specialized initiatives and cooperative arrangements with nonprofit and tribal organizations.

The portfolio data blocks contain no recent grant opportunities, indicating no open notices of funding opportunity are recorded against the Office. The absence of grant-making activity since 2016 and the lack of recorded recent opportunities suggest the Office's current funding cycle or grant-management posture has not generated new solicitations or rollup data in the current dataset. Firms pursuing funding from the Office on Violence Against Women should verify current funding status and opportunity availability through the Office's official website and Grants.gov, as the historical data reflects a period of significant grant activity that has not extended to the present.
