OVC Funding Opportunities

Submit Your OVC FY25 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula Grant Program Population Certification Form

OVC’s Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) formula grant program is dedicated to supporting the vital work of American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes in meeting the needs of crime victims.

OVC strongly encourages federally recognized Tribes to submit a Population Certification Form to signal their intent to apply for the noncompetitive FY25 TVSSA formula grant program funding opportunity. Tribes also have the option to designate another organization to apply on their behalf, or to seek TVSSA funding as part of a Tribal consortium.

OVC will use the Population Certification Form submissions to determine each applicant’s eligibility to receive Set-Aside funding. OVC will also apply a population-based administrative formula to calculate the maximum award amounts for each applicant.

FY 25 TVSSA Population Certification Webinar

Submitting a Population Certification Form is the first of two steps in the process of applying for TVSSA funds. The OVC Tribal Division hosted a webinar on how to submit a Population Certification Form for the FY25 TVSSA program. During the webinar, OVC reviewed the data required to complete the Population Certification Form, walked participants through the submission process, and answered questions from participants. 

The webinar was held on November 12, 2024, and a recording will be posted to this webpage as soon as it is available.

Please note: All FY25 TVSSA applicants must submit their data in the online form.

Deadline: Submit a population certification by 11:59 p.m. Alaska time on January 17, 2025.
