Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2023 171687
The OVC FY 2023 Invited to Apply Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula opportunity is a Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) grant program designed to fund direct services for crime victims in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. It is supported by the Office of Justice Programs broader priorities around civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, strengthening community safety, supporting people affected by the justice system, addressing evolving public safety threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practical terms, the purpose of the funding is to help Tribal communities expand or sustain victim-centered services that respond to the needs of people harmed by crime.
This solicitation is structured as an administrative formula program rather than a competitive grant. That distinction matters because eligible applicants are being invited to apply for funding tied to a set-aside established in law from the Crime Victims Fund (CVF), instead of competing against one another for awards based on scoring and rank order. The funding opportunity is intended to distribute support broadly across Tribal communities through that formula approach, with OVC administering the process.
Only certain entities are eligible. The program is limited to federally recognized Indian Tribes, including those applying on their own or together as part of a consortium. Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) regional corporations are also eligible, as are authorized designees of eligible entities. The listing of "Others" in the eligibility field is clarified by the solicitation language, which narrows eligibility specifically to those Tribal and Alaska Native entities and their formally authorized representatives.
The opportunity is offered as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 16.841. The issuing agency is the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. The opportunity was created on March 30, 2023, with an original closing date of June 1, 2023. OVC anticipated making a large number of awards (ExpectedAwards: 263), reflecting the formula-based and broadly distributed nature of the program. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, indicating that individual awards may be funded up to that amount depending on the formula calculation and program parameters.
The legal authority for making awards under this solicitation comes from the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023, section 510. This statutory reference is important because it signals that the Tribal victim services funding is tied to an appropriations directive establishing or continuing the CVF set-aside and authorizing OVC to administer the program under those terms.
In short, this is an invited, noncompetitive, formula-based OVC funding opportunity aimed at strengthening victim services in AI/AN communities, financed through a legally designated Crime Victims Fund set-aside, and available only to federally recognized Tribes, ANCSA regional corporations, and their authorized designees, with awards up to $1 million and an expected nationwide set of awards large enough to reach many communities.Apply for O OVC 2023 171687
