Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded $110,090 to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. As Ohio's designated statewide domestic violence and sexual assault coalition, ODVN utilizes these funds to coordinate victim services activities across the state's network of 74 local domestic violence programs serving all 88 Ohio counties. The grant supports ODVN's critical coordination and collaboration work with federal, state, and local entities engaged in violence against women activities, including training and technical assistance provision to local service providers.

This formula grant represents a core funding mechanism enabling ODVN to maintain its statewide coordination infrastructure and support comprehensive responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The award allows the coalition to facilitate multi-agency coordination efforts, develop service standards, and provide technical assistance to its membership network that collectively serves approximately 110,000 survivors annually. These coordination and training activities are fundamental to ODVN's broader mission of preventing and responding to gender-based violence across Ohio's service provider network.
