Caminar Latino Inc.

Caminar Latino Inc., a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering training, technical assistance, and direct victim services focused on violence against women and culturally specific community capacity-building, with 64% of recent awards as prime recipient and 36% as sub-recipient under state administering agencies.

Caminar Latino's federal footprint centers on the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and the Department of Health and Human Services. OVW funds 15 of the organization's 28 awards across multiple cooperative agreements and project grants under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526) and the Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program (CFDA 16.016). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 7 awards, and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime accounts for 5 awards. The organization also receives sub-awards from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, serving as a sub-recipient on victim services and domestic violence programs across nine fiscal years (2022–2026).

Caminar Latino's capability portfolio centers on violence prevention training, technical assistance delivery, and direct bilingual services to Latino survivors. Representative prime work includes a $1 million cooperative agreement awarded by OVW in August 2026 (continuing through July 2028) to deliver the Responses to Inform Violence Education (THRIVE) project, providing comprehensive training and technical assistance to OVW Children and Youth and Engaging Men (CYEM) program grantees while maintaining the CYEM clearinghouse and convening peer learning; a $450,000 Project Grant from OVW (October 2023–September 2026) delivering culturally and linguistically specific services to Latino survivors in metropolitan Atlanta including support groups, bilingual therapy, crisis intervention, and safety planning; a $400,000 cooperative agreement for the Advocate Training Institute for Peace and Safety (ADVOCATE TIPS) project, providing training and mentorship to culturally specific organizations; and a $300,000 cooperative agreement implementing the "Opportunities for All: The PEACE Approach to Culturally Specific Outreach" project, strengthening organizational capacity of culturally specific organizations through direct technical assistance, webinars, and peer networks. In its sub-recipient role, Caminar Latino receives recurring awards from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for domestic violence and community-based victim services.

Activity accelerated from a single award in 2022 to eight in 2023, then moderated to two awards each in 2025 and 2026, reflecting OVW's biennial or triennial funding cycle. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. The organization competes for federal support exclusively under grant mechanisms and cooperative agreements rather than federal contracts; no contract vehicles appear in the source data.
