Thank you for your interest in the Helping Outreach Programs to Expand (HOPE) grant program. Unfortunately, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is no longer accepting applications. We are revamping and restructuring the program and will advise the field on our efforts to develop a restructured program that continues to focus on reaching underserved victims and expanding organizational capacity to serve victims at the community level.
Since the program was launched in November 2002, OVC has offered 558 grants to grassroots, nonprofit, and community- and faith-based victim organizations and coalitions to improve outreach and services to victims of crime.
HOPE funds have supported a range of outreach and victim service expansion efforts, including:
- Production of a public service announcement featuring the victim service organizations’ contact information to be displayed in local movie theatres.
- Translation of domestic violence brochures from English to Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, and Farsi.
- Establishment of a 24-hour crisis hotline.
