Crimevictims.gov is a supplementary portal site to OVC's main Web site. It provides victims of crime with easy, intuitive navigation, specifically designed for them, to OVC's wide base of resources. The site was not designed to provide new resources, but to simplify the way that an average user finds the many resources OVC already offers. The site also serves other audiences in the same intuitive manner. NAGC is a national nonprofit professional network of federal, state, and local government employees who disseminate information within and outside government. NAGC is the only organization for, by, and about government communications and communicators. NAGC awards underscore the association's high standards of professionalism in public service. Awards of Excellence recognize government agencies and individuals for significant publication achievement. OVC's HELP for Victim Service Providers Web Forum Wins APEX Award
OVC introduced the Web Forum as a way for victim service providers and allied professionals to share ideas, suggestions, and recommendations concerning promising practices, best practices, and victim issues. The OVC Web Forum contains a variety of tools designed to assist providers with finding the information they need as quickly and efficiently as possible so that they can get back to their main mission: helping victims of crime. The forum contains an ever-growing and evolving list of topics to which providers can recommend additions.

The Web Forum was 1 of nearly 5,000 entries from corporations, nonprofit organizations, and independent publishers. OVC's Directory of Crime Victim Services Wins APEX Award
