Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2017 11902
The OVW FY 2017 Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It was released on January 4, 2017, under funding opportunity number OVW 2017 11902 (CFDA 16.888), with an application deadline of February 16, 2017. The program reflects a consolidation authorized through the FY 2012 through FY 2016 federal appropriations acts, combining four previously separate, authorized, and funded programs into a single comprehensive initiative focused on children, youth, and young adults affected by violence, while also strengthening prevention work by engaging men and boys.
At its core, the program funds projects that build or strengthen coordinated community responses (often referred to as CCRs). The intent is to move beyond isolated services and instead support coordinated, multi-agency and multi-organization approaches that improve how communities prevent, identify, respond to, and reduce the impact of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The target population is broad and intentionally spans developmental stages, covering children, youth, and young adults from birth through age 24. Funding can support a mix of direct services for victims and survivors, training for professionals and community partners, and structured coordination and collaboration activities that make local systems more responsive and less fragmented. The solicitation also highlights the importance of effective intervention, treatment, response, and prevention strategies, signaling that OVW is looking for comprehensive efforts that address immediate safety and support needs while also investing in longer-term prevention and culture change.
A key feature of this consolidated program is the explicit emphasis on partnership and collaboration across different sectors in a community. The opportunity encourages communities to bring together nonprofit victim service providers with other community service organizations, including groups focused on engaging men as positive role models and allies. It also promotes collaboration with schools, tribal governments and tribal communities, and local government agencies. This reflects the idea that addressing youth victimization and preventing future violence requires coordinated action across education systems, social services, advocacy organizations, and governmental entities, rather than relying on any single organization to carry the full burden of response. The “engaging men and boys” component is framed as part of prevention and community change, supporting efforts that encourage men and boys to actively participate in reducing violence and supporting safer norms and behaviors.
Eligible applicants include county governments; city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The program anticipated making about 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $750 (as listed in the source data). Overall, the solicitation positions this funding as a way for communities to build stronger, more integrated local networks that can better serve young victims and survivors while also expanding prevention efforts through broader community engagement, including the strategic involvement of men and boys as allies.Apply for OVW 2017 11902
