Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2017 12260
The OVC FY 17 National Indian Nations Conference: Justice for Victims of Crime grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2017 12260) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It offers support through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not only receive federal funding but would also be expected to coordinate closely with OVC as a partner in planning and delivering the funded work. The purpose is very specific: to identify an organization capable of planning and carrying out two major national conferences focused on crime victim services in Indian Country, specifically the 16th conference in 2018 and the 17th conference in 2020.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to strengthen and advance services for victims of crime in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by sustaining a longstanding national convening space. OVC notes that it has sponsored 15 prior Indian Nations Justice for Victims of Crime Conferences since 1988, drawing thousands of participants who work on victim needs across tribal communities and related systems. The conferences are positioned as a unique forum where victim advocates and allied professionals can come together to exchange practical knowledge and strategies. This includes sharing successes and challenges from the field, lessons learned from program implementation, promising approaches and best practices, and longer-term ideas about where crime victim services in AI/AN communities should go in the future.
The program falls under funding activity areas associated with income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, and it is tied to CFDA number 16.582. The award ceiling is $499,000, and OVC anticipates making one award, indicating that a single entity would be responsible for the overall end-to-end planning and execution of both the 2018 and 2020 conferences. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification expected in the full eligibility text of the solicitation, the intent is to find an applicant with the demonstrated capacity to manage national-scale conference logistics and content development, while also understanding the realities and priorities of victim services in Indian Country and being able to convene the relevant practitioners, tribal leaders, and multidisciplinary partners.
Key timeline details in the source data show the opportunity was created on March 22, 2017, with an original application closing date of May 9, 2017. In practical terms, applicants were competing to become OVCs conference host and organizer for two separate conference years, responsible for creating a high-quality professional gathering that supports networking, skills-building, collaboration across disciplines, and the spread of effective victim service approaches tailored to AI/AN communities.Apply for OVC 2017 12260
