Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVW 2025 172403
The OVW Fiscal Year 2025 Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program (TSASP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to strengthen sexual assault services in Tribal communities. The program focuses on supporting the operation of sexual assault programs and related projects on Indian Tribal lands and in Alaska Native villages. Its core purpose is to help Tribes and Tribal organizations establish new services where gaps exist, maintain existing sexual assault response programs, and expand the reach or capacity of those services so more victims and survivors can get timely, culturally relevant support.
TSASP funding is intended for efforts that directly assist people who have been victimized by sexual assault, with an emphasis on building sustainable community-based and culturally grounded responses. In practice, this can include developing or enhancing sexual assault advocacy and crisis intervention services, strengthening coordinated community responses, and improving the accessibility and quality of survivor-centered support in Tribal settings. While the notice summary highlights the broad aim rather than listing specific allowable activities, the program is clearly framed around the operation and growth of sexual assault services and projects that respond to survivor needs in Tribal communities.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American Tribal governments, as well as Native American Tribal organizations and other Tribal entities that are not themselves federally recognized Tribal governments. The opportunity also explicitly includes Indian Tribes, Tribal consortiums, Tribal organizations, and nonprofit Tribal organizations, reflecting OVW's intent to support a range of Tribal-serving structures, including collaborative groups and nonprofit entities rooted in Tribal communities. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to under assistance listings) number is 16.024.
The opportunity is offered as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant), with an anticipated maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $600,000. OVW expects to make approximately 13 awards under this solicitation, indicating a competitive process with a limited number of selections. The funding opportunity was created on July 24, 2025, and the original application closing date is September 23, 2025.
