About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Grants to Enhance Community-based Services for Survivors of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program (CSSP). The grant aims to support community-based organizations in maintaining and replicating culturally specific services for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Eligible applicants include non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits with demonstrated expertise in serving victims or the ability to partner with an experienced program. The primary objectives are to enhance access to services for survivors facing obstacles to traditional support systems and to develop innovative community-based programming. Applicants will likely be evaluated on their cultural competence, service delivery capabilities, and proposed strategies for reaching underserved populations. The application deadline is set for August 1, 2025, with the grant opportunity initially posted on June 18, 2025.
Historically, grants under this program typically range from $400,000 to $575,000 and are awarded for three-year project periods. The funding will support direct services including case management, counseling, legal advocacy, crisis intervention, economic empowerment, and culturally tailored support groups. While the specific award amount for the FY 2025 cycle is not explicitly stated, previous grants have focused on supporting organizations serving diverse racial and ethnic communities across the United States. The grant falls under the Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program (CFDA 16.016) and will be administered by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, targeting law, justice, and legal services related to victim support.
