The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women awarded Futures Without Violence a $500,000 cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526). The award funds the continuation of the Engaging Men on Campus: Enhancing Strategies, Collaboration, and Resources project, through which Futures Without Violence develops and revises resources and delivers basic and intermediate training and technical assistance to OVW campus grantees on engaging men in prevention of and response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Performance runs through July 31, 2029, at the recipient's San Francisco, California location. The initiative supports OVW's purpose area 4 focusing on engaging men on campus and is a continuation of prior award 15JOVW-22-GK-03993-CAMP.

The office on violence against women (OVW) training and technical assistance (TA) initiative provides OVW grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees with the expertise and support they need to develop and implement successful state, local, tribal, and campus projects; increase victim safety; and bolster offender accountability. Through cooperative agreements, OVW supports educational programming and resources, conferences, peer-to-peer learning, and targeted assistance that allows current and potential grantees and subgrantees to learn from experts and one another about how to overcome obstacles and incorporate promising practices in their efforts to address violence against women. In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of the criminal and civil justice systems and victim service providers to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked together to address violence against women. With FY 2025 TA initiative funding, futures without violence will continue its engaging men on campus: enhancing strategies, collaboration, and resources project. The organization will develop and revise resources and provide basic and intermediate training and technical assistance to OVW campus grantees on engaging men in the prevention of and response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. This project supports FY 2025 TA initiative purpose area 4: engaging men on campus. This award is a continuation of 15JOVW-22-GK-03993-camp.
