OVC FY 2026 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustment to Previously Funded OVC Awards

The Office for Victims of Crime within the U.S. Department of Justice administers funding programs that support services for victims of crime across the United States. This particular grant opportunity is a discretionary funding notice intended to provide administrative funding adjustments to previously awarded grants. The Office for Victims of Crime plays a central role in distributing federal resources to improve victim services, including those focused on human trafficking survivors and tribal communities. This opportunity reflects a continuation and modification of prior investments made in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The purpose of this funding opportunity is narrowly defined as supporting administrative funding adjustments to existing awards previously granted to the Alaska Native Justice Center, Inc. These adjustments apply specifically to two categories of prior awards: one related to human trafficking victim services and another tied to the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program. The funding is not intended to establish new programs or expand eligibility broadly, but rather to modify or supplement existing funded initiatives under controlled administrative conditions. Funding under this opportunity totals 1103632 dollars, with an award ceiling equal to the total program funding, indicating that a single recipient or a limited number of recipients will receive the full allocation. The expected number of awards is two, aligning with the two referenced prior grant categories. The funding instrument is a grant, and allowable uses are restricted to adjustments that align with the scope and objectives of the original awards. Because this is an administrative adjustment, expenditures must remain consistent with previously approved programmatic goals and federal grant guidelines. Eligibility for this opportunity is highly restricted. The only eligible applicant identified is Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc., as explicitly stated in the eligibility section. This indicates that the opportunity is an invited or sole-source application process rather than an open competition. The designation of “Others” in the eligibility field is clarified by the additional information, which confirms that no other organizations are eligible to apply. The application process is expected to follow standard federal grant submission procedures through Grants.gov or associated systems, although the notice does not provide detailed submission steps or required application components. There are no references to pre-application requirements such as letters of intent or concept papers. Applicants are expected to comply with federal requirements and submit materials by the stated deadline. The closing date for applications is July 31, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on July 29, 2026, indicating a very short application window consistent with an invited funding adjustment. For assistance, applicants can contact the Office of Justice Programs Response Center via phone or email during standard business hours. The opportunity does not specify evaluation criteria, performance periods, or award notification timelines, likely because these elements are governed by the original awards being adjusted. There is also no indication that this opportunity is recurring, suggesting it is a one-time administrative action tied to specific prior funding cycles.
