OVC seeks to enable an organization to provide financial, programmatic, and administrative support for up to 100 subgrants of up to $10,000 each to organizations nationwide that propose to print and disseminate the OVC-published Child Victims and Witnesses Support Materials.
Between 2020 and 2022, OVC published Child Victims and Witnesses Support Materials, a series of graphic novels and comic books, which are available to download and print from the OVC website. To further assist national dissemination and increase access to these materials, OVC will select an applicant to administer subawards to organizations interested in printing professional copies of the materials. The successful applicant will develop a strategy and implement a plan to advertise the subrecipient opportunity; offer a vehicle by which interested parties can apply; vet the applicants to ensure the applicant organizations serve or interact with child/youth victims and witnesses; review the applications to ensure they are in scope, will reach the intended audience, and that the subgrant amount requested is reasonable and justifiable; and submit recommended subawards to OVC for final approval. All subgrantees must certify prior to receiving the award that the materials will be provided to individuals and communities at no cost. The successful applicant will monitor the subgrants to ensure the funds are expended as intended. The successful applicant will also conduct outreach and awareness at relevant venues and events to increase community awareness of these resources.
