The OVW Fiscal Year 2024 Grants to Prevent and Respond to Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Sex Trafficking Against Children and Youth Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is funded through annual appropriations and sits within the Children and Youth and Engaging Men (CYEM) Program under CFDA 16.888. This solicitation is specifically the Children and Youth (CY) track, aimed at strengthening how communities prevent and respond to violence affecting children and youth, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking.

The core purpose of the CY Program is to support comprehensive, community-based efforts that either build new capacity or expand existing services and strategies for young people impacted by these forms of violence. In practical terms, the program is meant to help communities develop coordinated approaches that can include prevention work (such as education and risk-reduction efforts), intervention and safety planning, trauma-informed treatment and supports, and improved response systems across local partners. The focus is not limited to a single service type; instead, it encourages a broader strategy that connects multiple parts of a community response so children and youth can access timely, appropriate, and culturally responsive help.

This CY solicitation is one of two issued under the CYEM umbrella. The other is the FY 2024 Grants to Engage Men and Boys as Allies in the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls (EM) Program. A key rule is that applicants and project partners that submit applications to both the CY and EM solicitations can only receive one award, so organizations need to choose the best fit or coordinate carefully with partners to avoid jeopardizing funding eligibility across submissions.

Eligible applicants are limited to certain nonprofit and government entities in the United States and U.S. territories. Eligible nonprofit applicants include 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The solicitation also allows community-based organizations, population-specific organizations, and culturally-specific organizations, explicitly including examples such as Urban Indian organizations and Native Hawaiian organizations. In addition, eligible applicants include Indian tribal governments (federally recognized), tribal organizations, and units of local government or agencies of local government (such as city or county entities), which is reflected in the listed eligible applicant categories (county governments, city or township governments, and independent school districts, among others). The program is categorized under the funding activity area of Law, Justice and Legal Services and uses a grant funding instrument.

For FY 2024, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OVW-2024-171939) listed an expected 19 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 per award. The solicitation record shows a creation date of February 27, 2024, and an original application closing date of April 26, 2024. Applicants considering similar OVW opportunities in the future would typically use these details to gauge competitiveness, scale an appropriate project budget and scope, and confirm eligibility and fit with OVW program priorities.
