Formula Grant 15JOVW25GG00133MUMU

The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) $243,213 under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) for the performance period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This formula grant supports CCASA's statewide coordination of victim services and multi-sector collaboration to address sexual assault and domestic violence across Colorado. The award enables CCASA to coordinate victim services activities with federal, state, territory, and local entities engaged in violence against women initiatives, and to work with local sexual assault programs, law enforcement, judicial agencies, and child protective services to develop and implement appropriate responses to sexual assault cases.

The funding also supports CCASA's efforts to design and conduct public education campaigns addressing sexual assault, plan and monitor the distribution of grant funds to local providers, and collaborate with public officials to develop policies aimed at reducing and eliminating sexual assault. CCASA's work includes partnerships with subrecipients such as the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Rape Intervention Team Inc., and Hispanic Affairs Project to implement statewide training, technical assistance, and public awareness initiatives. This award represents the continuation of CCASA's ongoing receipt of annual formula grants under this program since fiscal year 2021.
