About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime office is soliciting applications for non-competitive formula grants supporting victim services in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, with applications due by 11:59 p.m. EST on August 13, 2026 (Grants.gov) and August 20, 2026 (JustGrants). Eligibility is restricted to federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Regional Corporations, and their authorized designees; applications from consortia of tribes are permitted.
No cost share is required. Award amounts are determined by formula; historical awards have ranged from approximately $14,000 to $513,000, with typical formula-based awards in the $219,000 to $256,000 range. The program funds a broad scope of victim services expenses, including direct services (advocacy, case management, emergency shelter and housing, counseling, forensic interviewing, elder abuse advocacy), staff salaries, training, equipment, and construction or refurbishment of victim services facilities and shelter space.
The five-year funding cycle language has been revised as of this opportunity. Records must be retained for three years from final expenditure report submission. The Authorized Representative must accept or decline the award within forty-five days of notification. Grant awards are made under CFDA 16.841, with funding designated by law from the Crime Victims Fund. Award decisions are made by the Assistant Attorney General unless delegated otherwise. The program is administered as a non-competitive formula allocation rather than a competitive merit-based grant round.
