National Center For Victims Of Crime, Inc.

National Center For Victims Of Crime, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Hyattsville, Maryland, operates as a federal grant recipient providing victim services, crisis intervention, training, and technical assistance to the Department of Justice and related agencies. NCVC has received 47 prime grant awards and sits as a subrecipient on 4 additional grants, with all recent work flowing through Department of Justice (DOJ) entities — primarily the Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program and the Office on Violence Against Women.

NCVC's capability portfolio centers on three concrete service lines: 24/7 crisis hotline operations (the VictimConnect National Hotline, providing call, text, and chat services to crime victims across all 50 states, DC, and U.S. territories); law enforcement victim-services technology (a no-cost mobile application connecting officers to advocacy resources, victims' rights information, and compensation assistance); and training and technical assistance to attorney networks, peer-support practitioners, and victim-service providers on trauma-informed approaches to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and post-conviction victim support. Representative prime awards include a $2 million cooperative agreement (October 2025 through September 2028, CFDA 16.582) for VictimConnect hotline maintenance and expansion to reduce staff burnout and increase capacity; a $600,000 cooperative agreement (October 2025 through September 2028, CFDA 16.582) to develop and deploy the law-enforcement mobile application; and a $1.3 million cooperative agreement (August 2026 through July 2029, CFDA 16.526) under the Office on Violence Against Women Technical Assistance Initiative to provide training to attorneys on civil litigation in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. NCVC also holds a project grant for tribal victim-services internships partnering with Arizona State University, the University of South Dakota, and the University of Oklahoma to place approximately 13 social-work students in tribal programs over three years (October 2023 through September 2026).

Customer concentration is entirely DOJ-aligned. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime program accounts for 18 awards; DOJ's Office of Justice Programs accounts for 14 additional awards; and the DOJ Office on Violence Against Women accounts for 7 awards. Together, these three DOJ entities represent 86% of NCVC's recent award count. The Department of Justice Criminal Division contributes 3 awards valued at $15 thousand. NCVC has worked with 11 distinct federal customer agencies but shows no material presence outside DOJ.

NCVC operates predominantly as a prime recipient — 92% of awards are prime grants — and does not sit on federal contract IDIQs or GWACs. All work flows through DOJ cooperative agreements and project grants. As a subrecipient, NCVC has partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina, the Healing Justice Project, the Urban Institute, and the CNA Corporation on evaluation support, post-conviction victim services, and technical assistance related to violent crime and public safety.

Activity has remained steady at two to three awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with two awards completing in the next twenty-four months. Service Contract Inventory shows minimal reportable sub-engagement in FY2024, with NCVC appearing as a named subcontractor on a single record contributing 0.4 FTEs. The combined potential value across all 51 awards reads as $23 thousand, a data artifact reflecting how cooperative agreements and project grants are recorded in the federal award system; combined dollars obligated across all awards stands at $43.2 million, reflecting the true scale of funding received by NCVC from DOJ and partner agencies over its award history.
