Diane Stuart, Director of the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Department’s Task Force for Faith-based and Community Initiatives announces the release of a FY2005 Grant Program Solicitation designed to expand grass roots, faith-based and community-based services to rural victims of domestic violence. This Pilot Program is distinct from the FY 2005 Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Grant Program as OVW will award funding, through a cooperative agreement, to intermediary organizations that will (1) support the activities of small, grass roots faith-based and community organizations in serving rural victims of domestic violence through the management of competitive sub-awards and (2) provide technical assistance to sub-award recipients to develop their capacity to provide services to rural victims of domestic violence.
