Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The New Hampshire Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General received $798,606 in funding under the Sexual Assault Services Formula Program (SASP, CFDA 16.017) from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. The award, dated August 1, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2027, supports the delivery of comprehensive sexual assault victim services across New Hampshire. The program funds rape crisis centers and nonprofit organizations to provide core services including crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, medical and criminal justice system accompaniment, and support services to victims of sexual assault regardless of age, as well as assistance to family members and other individuals affected by sexual assault victimization.

The funding is designed to supplement existing resources and enhance the capacity of local service providers to deliver victim-centered, culturally sensitive support. Sub-award recipients have historically included nonprofit victim service organizations and rape crisis programs that provide direct intervention services to sexual assault survivors in their communities.
