 Grants.gov deadline: March 26, 2021

JustGrants deadline: March 30, 2021

Eligible applicants are limited to: Governments of Indian tribes that have jurisdiction over Indian country.

Through this grant program, Indian tribes receive support to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) and technical assistance (TA) for planning and implementing changes in their criminal justice systems necessary to exercise the jurisdiction. The program encourages collaborations among tribal leadership, courts, prosecutors, attorneys, defense counsel, law enforcement, probation, victim service providers, and other partners to ensure that victims find safety and justice and that non-Indians who commit crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, and violations of protection orders in the Indian country of the participating tribe are held accountable.

Note: Tribes that are currently exercising SDVCJ and are only seeking funding to support discrete costs that result from the exercise of SDVCJ may be eligible to receive funding through the OVW FY 2021 Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction: Targeted Support for Exercising Tribes Solicitation.
