Grant Description

Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations, local government agencies, and tribal organizations and governments to prevent assault and violence. Applicants are advised to complete required registrations well in advance of the deadline. Funding is intended to support projects that create educational programming and community organizing to encourage men and boys to work as allies with women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking.

In FY 2023, funds under this program must be used to develop and/or implement strategies that engage and mobilize men and boys at individual, group, relational, and societal levels to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or sex trafficking through one or more of the following purpose areas:

Develop and/or implement programming to recruit and train men and boys to serve as role models, positive influencers, change agents, and/or mentors to address and prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or sex trafficking.
Integrate education on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or sex trafficking into established support and/or enrichment programs (e.g., mentoring, youth services, sports, fraternal, faith-based, fatherhood, re-entry, and educational programs) to assist men and/or boys in developing healthy relationships, challenging social norms that support violence against women and girls, becoming active bystanders, and understanding the intersection of the above crimes with other types of related violence (e.g., gang initiation, gun violence).
Develop and implement a train-the-trainer program for community organizations or programs, and/or governmental agencies or programs, to incorporate education and/or training into their existing work with male clients to prevent violence against women and girls.

In FY 2023, OVW has five programmatic priorities, of which the priority area(s) identified below are applicable to this program. Applications proposing activities in the following areas will be given special consideration.

Advance racial equity as an essential component of ending sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking.
Improve outreach, services, civil and criminal justice responses, prevention, and support for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking from underserved communities, particularly LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities.
