About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women is soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2026 Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program, with applications due September 1, 2026. Eligible applicants are federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and nonprofit tribal organizations. No cost share or matching requirement is identified in the opportunity.
The program funds intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, support services, and related assistance for adult, youth, and child victims of sexual assault, as well as family and household members of victims and those collaterally affected by victimization, excluding perpetrators. Award amounts are not specified in this posting. Historical awards have ranged from approximately $358,589 to $675,000 for three- to five-year periods, with some continuation awards reaching up to $1,250,000 over five years. Renewals are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Services include victim advocacy, accompaniment to medical facilities and law enforcement agencies, crisis intervention, safety planning, emergency shelter and housing assistance, counseling, transportation, and culturally specific healing practices tailored to Native American and Alaska Native communities. Programs operate within Indian tribal lands and Alaska Native villages.
Applicants must submit proposals through Grants.gov and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System. Selection criteria are specified in the program's Notice of Funding Opportunity. Applicants will be notified of award decisions by the end of the fiscal year. Upon award approval, the authorized representative must accept the award online through JustGrants. Financial records and supporting documents must be retained for three years from final expenditure report submission, or longer if any litigation, claim, or audit remains unresolved.
The program is authorized under 34 U.S.C. 12511(e) and carries CFDA Number 16.024.
