Department of Justice – Office on Violence Against Women
Does your organization work with victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking? The Department of Justice (DOJ) is accepting proposals for its Grants for Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSA) through the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), a component of the DOJ. The overall goals of the LAV program are to increase the availability of civil and criminal legal assistance needed to effectively aid adult and youth (ages 11 and older) victims by providing funds for comprehensive direct legal services in legal matters relating to or arising from abuse or violence. OVW is especially seeking organizations that serve culturally specific organizations to advance racial equity, improve outreach and services to underserved and population-specific communities, and focus on sexual assault and non-intimate partner sexual assault.
