SUMMARY: The Sexual Assault Services – Community-based Services Program (SAS CSP) supports nonprofit organizations that aim to enhance access to services for all survivors by providing community-based services in culturally specific communities. Applicants must have documented organizational experience in the area of sexual assault intervention or partner with an organization having such expertise.
Examples of eligible services and equipment include:
- Measures to combat human trafficking and transnational crime, particularly crimes linked to illegal immigration and cartel operations, that support safety and justice for trafficking victims who have also suffered domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and/or stalking
- Projects to provide victim services, especially housing, and improve law enforcement response in rural and remote areas, tribal nations, and small towns that often lack resources to effectively combat domestic violence and sexual assault.
- Recipients of an award under this program may use up to three percent of the funds to assess the need for internal improvements (e.g. convening listening sessions to identify service gaps in the community; surveying participants about the quality of the training.)
A total of $ 7,850,000 is available in funding for an anticipated 20 awards. There is no cost share or match requirement. The award amounts range from $360K - $380K.
DEADLINE: Applications are due July 25, 2025
ELIGIBILITY: Eligible applicants include private nonprofit organizations that focus primarily on culturally specific communities and that:
(1) Have documented organizational experience in the area of sexual assault intervention or have entered into a formal partnership with an organization having such expertise;
