About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applicants for a Cooperative Agreement to assist anti-trafficking grantees in developing meaningful survivor engagement strategies. This opportunity aims to help organizations build capacity to identify and partner with human trafficking survivors in local, state, and regional contexts, with a focus on innovative approaches to organizational peer support and partnership development. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations, private and public higher education institutions, small businesses, nonprofits, and other 501(c)(3) organizations focused on income security and social services. The grant opportunity is part of the Services for Trafficking Victims program (CFDA 16.320), which supports comprehensive services for both sex and labor trafficking survivors. The application deadline is February 24, 2026, with an expected review and selection process taking approximately 3-5 months.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated in this opportunity, the Services for Trafficking Victims program typically provides grants ranging from $440,000 to $3,499,999, with project periods usually lasting three years. The performance locations will span across the United States, with a particular focus on regions with high trafficking prevalence such as California, New York, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts. Recipients will be expected to develop and implement victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches that address gaps in identification, service delivery, and long-term support for trafficking survivors. All organizations receiving $500,000 or more in fiscal year funding will be required to undergo a single audit, and all financial records must be retained for three years following the final expenditure report.
