About this opportunity

The Rural Grant Program helps states and territories, Indian Tribes, local governments, and nonprofits to enhance safety and justice for adult victims in rural communities. It funds victim services (such as advocacy, legal assistance, and shelter), and probation, and other ways of addressing domestic and sexual violence. Per 34 § 12341(a), these grants are meant to encourage collaboration, establish and expand nonprofit victim services, increase safety and well-being for women and children in rural communities, and ensure victims in rural areas have access to sexual assault medical forensic exams.
