Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2024 172048
The OVC FY24 Training and Technical Assistance for Anti-Trafficking Service Providers opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), aimed at strengthening the national capacity of organizations that serve victims of human trafficking. The core purpose is to fund a single organization (or lead applicant in a partnership) to deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) to victim service providers across the United States who support survivors of all forms of human trafficking. In practical terms, the project is meant to improve the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of direct services by ensuring providers have access to up-to-date guidance, practical tools, and problem-solving support tailored to the realities of trafficking victim services.
This award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means OVC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant monitoring. Recipients should generally be prepared for close coordination with OVC on priorities, deliverables, and implementation details, including how training content is structured, how audiences are reached, and how performance and outcomes are tracked. The activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the funding is tied to CFDA (Assistance Listing) 16.320, which is commonly associated with OVC victim assistance-related programming.
The funding opportunity number is O-OVC-2024-172048. The solicitation was created on March 20, 2024, and the original application closing date was May 6, 2024. OVC anticipates making one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $3,500,000. Because only one award is expected, the selected recipient will likely function as a national or near-national TTA provider, serving a broad range of organizations, programs, and frontline practitioners. The work implied by the scale and structure of the award typically includes developing and delivering trainings (virtual and/or in-person), producing resource materials and toolkits, offering individualized or targeted technical assistance to agencies as they address difficult cases or program challenges, and helping build sustainable organizational practices that improve service delivery over time.
A notable feature of this opportunity is the breadth of eligible applicants. OVC allows applications from public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests OVC is open to a range of entities that can demonstrate deep expertise in human trafficking victim services and the infrastructure needed to deliver national-level training and technical assistance, including organizations with strong instructional design capacity, subject matter expertise, and the ability to build relationships with diverse service providers and systems.
Overall, this solicitation is designed to improve how victim service providers identify needs, deliver trauma-informed and survivor-centered services, and respond effectively to the complex realities of trafficking across different regions and populations. The emphasis on "all forms of human trafficking" signals an intent to support providers working with survivors of both sex and labor trafficking, likely including cases involving adults and minors, diverse cultural and linguistic communities, and varying service environments ranging from community-based nonprofits to multidisciplinary networks. The single, high-ceiling cooperative agreement structure indicates OVC is looking for a central TTA hub that can develop standardized resources while still responding to on-the-ground challenges faced by providers throughout the country.Apply for O OVC 2024 172048
