Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14081
The OVC FY 2018-2019 National Crime Victims' Rights Week (NCVRW) Resource Guide grant opportunity is a discretionary funding competition from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), offered as a single cooperative agreement. The purpose of the award is to fund one organization to design and produce a comprehensive NCVRW Resource Guide "kit" that victim service providers, allied professionals, and community partners can use to boost public awareness of crime victim issues across the country during National Crime Victims' Rights Week in April 2019 and to support outreach and education throughout the rest of the year. The cooperative agreement structure signals that the selected recipient would work closely with OVC, with ongoing coordination and federal involvement in shaping deliverables, messaging, and production decisions.
A central focus of the project is the end-to-end development of the NCVRW Resource Guide in both English and Spanish. The kit is intended to be practical and widely usable by the victim services field, helping organizations communicate key messages about victims' rights, available services, and the importance of trauma-informed, survivor-centered support. In addition to the guide materials, this solicitation explicitly includes production of the official NCVRW Theme Video for 2019, making video planning and production a core deliverable rather than an add-on. The recipient is expected to collaborate with OVC to create a creative concept and production plan, identify appropriate people, places, and events to feature, and carry out interviews and videography that bring the week’s theme to life in a concise, compelling way.
The video component is described in a way that emphasizes storytelling and multi-source media gathering. Beyond newly recorded footage, the recipient may need to locate and secure additional audiovisual and photographic elements to strengthen the final product, such as news footage, radio reports, still photographs, and victim impact statements. The goal is to produce a theme video that clearly and powerfully communicates why victims' rights matter and how services support healing and justice. Because NCVRW materials are often used by diverse audiences (local victim advocates, prosecutors, law enforcement, community organizations, campus programs, and others), the deliverables need to be accessible, visually engaging, and adaptable for broad public-facing use.
The opportunity also includes a language access and translation planning expectation shaped by prior years of resource usage. Based on download and usage trends dating back to 2012, the grantee must make a recommendation about which components of the Resource Guide should be translated into Spanish. However, the funding assumptions described in the program plan anticipate that the full Resource Guide will be translated and that Spanish subtitles will be produced for the theme video. This suggests OVC’s intent to ensure Spanish-speaking communities can fully access the core NCVRW outreach materials and that the awardee should be prepared to manage professional translation, editing, formatting, and quality assurance so that Spanish-language versions are as polished and culturally appropriate as the English originals.
In addition to the 2019 materials, the award also funds development of the 2020 theme narrative, indicating that the project is not limited to producing a single year’s kit but also contributes to the next year’s national messaging foundation. That narrative work typically involves articulating the conceptual framing for the next NCVRW theme in a way that can guide future outreach materials, talking points, and creative assets. Taken together, the scope points to a communications-heavy production project requiring strong project management, content development, graphic and multimedia production capabilities, translation and accessibility planning, and the ability to coordinate reviews and approvals in close partnership with OVC.
Key administrative details include a funding opportunity number of OVC-2018-14081 and a CFDA number of 16.582. The agency anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $400,000. The opportunity was posted May 1, 2018, with an original closing date of May 30, 2018. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the solicitation’s additional eligibility information. Overall, this grant is designed to support a single national producer-partner that can deliver high-quality, ready-to-use NCVRW outreach tools in English and Spanish, anchored by an official theme video and supported by forward-looking theme development for the following year.Apply for OVC 2018 14081
