New OVC Funding Opportunities

Apply for Funding to Provide Services for Victims of Crime

The Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime, is pleased to announce the following Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs).  

We encourage you to review the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide and visit the JustGrants Application Submission Training page to find step-by-step instructions to guide you through the entire funding application process.

Additionally, on-demand, pre-application videos about the mechanics of applying and details on the programmatic areas of the NOFOs will be posted to our Funding Webinars page as they become available.

OVC will continue to post its FY25 NOFOs on a rolling basis as they are completed over the next few weeks. As NOFO’s are posted, you can find them on the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Current Funding Opportunities page.

Get Ready NOW To Apply for DOJ Funding
You must have active registrations in SAM.gov and Grants.gov before you can apply for Department of Justice funding opportunities. If you’ve used these systems in the past, check that your registration and users are current.  

  • Register today. You can register in SAM.gov and Grants.gov any time—you don’t have to wait until a funding opportunity is open. SAM.gov registrations expire after 12 months and must be renewed every year. Grants.gov accounts deactivate after a year of inactivity or if your SAM.gov registration expires.
  • Update points of contact. Check and update your entity’s POCs in both systems now to prevent delays in completing your application—or miss the application deadline.
