Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 90001
The OVC FY 2021 Invited to Apply Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula Grant Program is a U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) funding opportunity designed to strengthen and expand services for victims of crime in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The program is supported through a legally required set-aside from the federal Crime Victims Fund, meaning the funding stream is specifically reserved for tribal victim services rather than competed for in an open national grant competition. The overall purpose is to support direct, accessible, and culturally relevant victim services in tribal communities, helping tribes and tribal partners respond to the needs of victims and improve safety, healing, and support systems.
This opportunity is structured as an administrative formula program rather than a competitive solicitation. In practice, that means applicants are "invited to apply" because eligibility is limited to specific entities and awards are made based on a formula approach and administrative determinations, not on a scored competition against other applicants. The listing notes an expected 173 awards, reflecting the broad reach of the set-aside across many tribal communities. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates there is no single fixed maximum award amount published in the summary and that award levels are determined through the formula and program administration rather than a standard cap.
Only certain applicants can apply. Eligibility is restricted to federally recognized Indian tribes, whether applying on their own or as part of a tribal consortium. Alaska Native entities are also included, specifically ANSCA regional corporations, along with their designees. This narrow eligibility is intentional and aligns with the program's purpose: ensuring that the set-aside funding reaches tribal communities and tribally connected organizations positioned to deliver victim services locally and in ways that fit community needs.
Administratively, the grant is classified under the discretionary opportunity category and uses a grant funding instrument. The activity area is labeled Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 16.841 (now commonly referenced through the Assistance Listings system). The responsible agency is the Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. The opportunity was created on April 12, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 12, 2021.
The legal authority cited for the program is the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2021, Section 510. This statutory reference is important because it is the source that authorizes the set-aside mechanism from the Crime Victims Fund and frames how OVC can distribute these funds to support tribal victim services. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a dedicated, non-competitive funding pathway for eligible tribal entities to sustain or enhance victim services, backed by a specific congressional appropriation and administered by OVC through a formula-based approach.Apply for O OVC 2021 90001
