About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women is seeking applicants for the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program (Rural Program). This grant opportunity aims to enhance the safety of rural victims and support projects designed to address and prevent these crimes in rural areas. Key objectives include implementing cooperative efforts among law enforcement, prosecutors, and victim service providers; delivering counseling, advocacy, and legal assistance to victims; and developing education and prevention strategies. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, tribal organizations, local governments, and higher education institutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the program's goals in rural communities.
The FY 2024 solicitation requests proposals for 1-3 year projects with budgets of $300,000 to $500,000 per year. Recent Federal Grant Opportunities have funded projects ranging from $500,000 to $950,000 for 24-36 month periods. Awarded projects are expected to focus on expanding victim services, improving coordinated community responses, and implementing prevention education in specific rural counties or multi-county regions across the United States.
