Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2019 15804
The OVW FY 2019 Grants for Outreach and Services to Underserved Populations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2019 15804) was a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), created on December 18, 2018, with an application deadline of February 13, 2019. It was designed to help communities improve how they reach and support people who experience domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, with a specific focus on victims who are part of underserved populations. The program explicitly includes both adult and youth victims, emphasizing the need for outreach strategies that actually connect with people who may face barriers to accessing traditional victim services.
At its core, the program aimed to do two connected things: first, to develop and carry out targeted outreach that increases awareness of available help and reduces barriers to getting services; and second, to provide direct victim services that are stronger, more accessible, and more responsive to the realities of underserved communities. The grant description highlights that funding is intended to enhance services and improve the overall service ecosystem, not just to maintain the status quo. That includes supporting programs that are culturally appropriate and inclusive, meaning services should be shaped by the language, values, lived experiences, and practical needs of the communities being served, rather than expecting victims to fit into one standard model of assistance.
A major emphasis of the opportunity was capacity-building for two types of organizations: mainstream victim service organizations and organizations that primarily serve underserved populations. The goal was to strengthen both sides so they can deliver better, more culturally specific services and coordinate more effectively. In practice, this focus points to activities like improving organizational readiness, expanding partnerships, developing community-informed outreach approaches, and strengthening service delivery practices so that victims who have historically been overlooked or face added access challenges can receive meaningful support.
The program also prioritized training and outreach activities directed at organizations that provide services to underserved populations. This suggests funding could support efforts such as cross-training staff, educating community-based partners, and building referral pathways so that more local organizations know how to identify victimization, respond safely and effectively, and connect survivors to appropriate resources. The overall intent was to increase the reach and quality of victim services by expanding knowledge, strengthening collaboration, and tailoring approaches to the specific barriers underserved survivors face.
Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was listed under CFDA number 16.889, with an award ceiling of $450,000 and an expectation of about 10 awards. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the original posting). In summary, this OVW funding opportunity was structured to help nonprofits build or expand targeted outreach and victim service strategies that are inclusive, culturally responsive, and specifically designed to reach survivors in underserved populations who might otherwise be unable to access effective support.Apply for OVW 2019 15804
