OVW walks rural organizations through funding opportunity to fight domestic and sexual violence in underserved communities across the United States

When it comes to protecting vulnerable individuals in rural areas, having the right support and resources can make all the difference.

That’s why the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is stepping up efforts to provide funding for programs aimed at addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in these often underserved communities.

To guide potential applicants through the process, OVW recently hosted an informational session tied to its Fiscal Year 2025 Rural Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

A Closer Look at the Program Requirements

During this session, OVW staff walked participants through the details of the FY 2025 funding opportunity.

They broke down the program’s goals, eligibility criteria, and the application process in a way that was clear and easy to understand.

The goal? To make sure that organizations interested in applying for the grant know exactly what they need to do—and how they can align their projects with OVW’s mission of preventing and responding to violence in rural communities.

What Comes Next?

So, what happens after this information session? For those interested in applying, the next steps involve reviewing the NOFO in detail, preparing their application materials, and submitting them within the specified deadline.

OVW encourages potential applicants to take full advantage of the guidance provided in the session, and to reach out if they have further questions or need support during the application process.
