About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Restorative Practices Pilot Sites Program, a 48-month cooperative agreement focused on supporting and expanding existing restorative practice programs that prevent or address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, tribal organizations, county and city governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and other qualifying entities with experience in victim services. The program aims to develop and implement victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches to interpersonal violence through collaborative and voluntary intervention strategies. 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 October 14, 2025, with applicants expected to be notified by the end of the fiscal year.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly detailed, the broader Restorative Practices Program suggests potential investments ranging from $15-$23 million across related initiatives. The grant is structured as a 48-month cooperative agreement, providing funding on an as-needed basis with potential for renewal considered on a case-by-case basis. Recipients must retain financial and supporting documentation for three years following the submission of the final expenditure report, and must comply with the current DOJ Financial Grants Management Guide. The program is designed to support pilot sites across various geographic and demographic contexts, with a focus on generating actionable research and data about restorative practices in addressing interpersonal violence.
