What is the program?
Since the program was launched in November 2002, OVC has offered grants to grassroots, nonprofit, community- and faith-based victim organizations and coalitions to improve outreach and services to victims of crime.

Through a series of roundtable meetings with crime victims and victim advocates, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has become aware of a growing body of grassroots, nonprofit, community- and faith-based victim organizations and coalitions who are not linked to mainstream victim service programs and who do not have access to traditional funding for services, outreach, and networking. Oftentimes, these organizations need only a small amount of money and access to resources to expand and enhance their outreach and services to crime victims.

The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will provide up to $5,000 in funding to grassroots community- and faith-based victim service organizations and coalitions to improve outreach and services to crime victims, through support of program development, networking, coalition building, and service delivery. Funds may be used to develop program literature, train advocates, produce a newsletter, support victim outreach efforts, and recruit volunteers.
