OVC FY 17 Action Partnerships for National Membership, Professional Affiliation, and Community Service Organizations: Post-Conviction Services to Victims of Crime

Eligible applicants are limited to national nonprofit (including tribal nonprofits) membership, professional affiliation, and community service organizations, and must demonstrate the financial and organizational capacity to manage this cooperative agreement. Applicants must demonstrate a capability and strong desire to reach and serve victims of crime through a project that is national in scope. The applicant organization must also be national, with the following exception: local or state chapters of groups based on professional membership or professional affiliation may apply, but must submit a memorandum of understanding (MOU) documenting a close partnership with their national office to achieve national capacity for the dissemination of this project.OVC welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (“subgrantees"). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire program. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (“subgrantee”) in more than one application.OVC may elect to fund applications submitted under this FY 2017 solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
