OVC FY24 Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program for Crime Victim Compensation and/or Assistance - Colorado - Invited to Apply
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) supports victims of mass violence and terrorism through the Antiterrorism Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP).
Funding for this program comes from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (the Emergency Reserve).
Along with non-grant training and technical
assistance services, there are four types of grants that may be combined into one application:
crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation.
AEAP grants are a mechanism by which the Director of OVC may award supplemental crime victim compensation and assistance to eligible entities responding to acts of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism.
The event must be sufficiently large that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims of the incident with existing resources, while also supporting victims of other crimes, in a timely and comprehensive manner.
AEAP is designed to support mass violence incidents that are seemingly random or unpredictable in nature, and does not support victimization as a consequence of disputes between individuals or groups – including gang-related violence – domestic violence, or broader community gun violence.
It is expected that states and communities use other funding, such as VOCA formula funding, to support victims in areas that are known to have higher crime rates.
AEAP funds may be used to provide emergency relief to benefit victims such as crisis response efforts, help victims adapt to and cope with the consequences of the event over the longer-term, and facilitate victim participation in the judicial process.
AEAP can also supplement state crime victim compensation administrative agencies that reimburse victims for out-of-pocket expenses related to their victimization.
Funding under this program is retroactive to the date of the incident.
Justification for all funding must demonstrate that AEAP funds will support victims of the incident and are supplemental to existing resources.
OVC may provide a no-cost consultant(s) to help the prospective grantee with the AEAP application process.

Funding Opportunity
Additional Information of Eligibility:
For Crime Victim Assistance, eligible applicants are limited to state victim assistance programs; public agencies, including federal, state, and local governments, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior and published in the Federal Register; public institutions of higher education; and victim service and nongovernmental organizations.
For Crime Victim Compensation, eligible applicants are limited to state crime victim compensation administrative agencies.
OVC does not provide Antiterrorism Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP) funding directly to individual crime victims.
AEAP applications will be accepted only from the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, unless a federal statute establishes a special authorization and appropriation supporting allocations to other jurisdictions or a compelling justification can be provided to the OVC Director supporting requests from other jurisdictions.
In the case of terrorism and mass violence outside the United States, OVC will make a determination regarding which organizations or agencies within the United States may apply for funding.
This is a restricted invitation because the program is intended to respond to specific cases of terrorism and mass violence.
Only after OVC has consulted with an eligible organization can an application be submitted.
