About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), a division of the Department of Justice, is seeking grant applications from federally recognized Tribal governments to address violent crimes against Native women. The Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program aims to assist Tribal governments in responding to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and stalking within their communities. Eligible applicants include tribal governing bodies, tribes, bands, pueblos, nations, and organized Native communities, with a focus on developing comprehensive victim services, strengthening tribal justice system responses, and implementing prevention and education programs. Evaluation criteria will be specified in the program's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), with applicants required to submit proposals through Grants.gov and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System. The application deadline is August 12, 2025, with applicants expected to be notified before the end of the fiscal year.
Recent federal grant awards under this program typically range from $500,000 to $1,300,000, with project periods spanning 24-36 months. The primary place of performance will be within tribal jurisdictions, focusing on serving American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Grant recipients will be expected to maintain financial records and supporting documents for three years after the final expenditure report, with potential extensions if litigation or audits are pending. Funds will be released on an as-needed basis to the grantee, with the overall objective of decreasing violent crimes against Native women and strengthening tribal sovereign authority to respond to such crimes.
