Tribal Victim Services Micro-Grant Program | DC OVC MG 20 001

Opportunity Information: Apply for DC OVC MG 20 001

The Tribal Victim Services Micro-Grant Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Denali Commission to help Alaska Tribal communities build up victim services where they are missing and strengthen services that already exist. The core goal is practical capacity-building: supporting Tribes in creating, expanding, or improving programs that assist victims of crime, especially in places where services may be limited, hard to access, or not yet established.

Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have an active role during the project period (for example, providing guidance, oversight, or support as the work is carried out). The program anticipates making about 20 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $350,000 per grant. The funding activity area is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 90.100. The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DC OVC MG 20 001.

The micro-grants are designed to be flexible so Tribes can respond to local needs and priorities. Examples of supported uses include conducting a victim services needs assessment to understand gaps and barriers, developing a strategic plan to launch a new victim assistance program, building or expanding an actual victim assistance program and the services it offers, broadening the populations served (such as reaching underserved groups in the community), and expanding the types of crimes addressed (for instance, adding services for victims of additional offense categories beyond what a program currently covers). Alongside funding, grantees can access training and technical assistance to help with program implementation, which is meant to improve readiness, strengthen service quality, and support long-term sustainability.
