About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Grants to Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program, designed to support the development and operation of nonprofit, nongovernmental Tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions. Eligible applicants include Tribal organizations (both federally recognized and non-recognized) and 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve tribal communities and address violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. The program's primary objectives include increasing awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault, enhancing response mechanisms at tribal, federal, and state levels, and providing technical assistance to tribal communities. Applicants must submit proposals through Grants.gov and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System by the September 16, 2025 deadline. Evaluation criteria will be specified in the program's notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), with selected coalitions receiving base funding and additional resources for sexual assault-focused project activities.
The grant awards are typically formula grants with historical funding ranges between $382,188 and $414,147 annually, structured with 12-month performance periods. Selected organizations will primarily perform services on tribal lands and in urban areas with significant Native populations. Recipients must retain financial records and supporting documents for three years after the final expenditure report and comply with the current DOJ Financial Grants Management Guide. Tribal coalitions must meet specific criteria, including providing services to Indian tribes and being recognized by the Office on Violence Against Women. The program aims to support organizations like the Native Women's Society of the Great Plains, Strong Hearted Native Women's Coalition, and similar entities serving tribal communities across states including South Dakota, California, Minnesota, New York, Arizona, North Dakota, and Alaska.
