Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS EV 0032
The National Domestic Violence Hotline grant opportunity (HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS EV 0032) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS), under CFDA 93.592. Through the Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grant Program, ACF plans to make a single cooperative agreement award to support the operation of a nationwide domestic violence hotline. The intent is to ensure that adult and youth victims of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, along with their family or household members and others affected by the abuse, can access immediate, reliable help and be connected to appropriate services anywhere in the country.
At the core of this opportunity is the expectation that the funded hotline will function as a crisis intervention and support hub. This includes helping callers and users sort through urgent concerns, clarify what is happening, identify priorities, and consider realistic options. A major emphasis is placed on safety planning and developing a clear plan of action tailored to the individual situation, recognizing that needs can range from immediate danger to longer-term stabilization and recovery.
The hotline is also expected to serve as a comprehensive information and referral gateway. It should provide guidance and connections to resources addressing domestic violence and dating violence, as well as support related to children exposed to domestic violence. In addition, the description highlights the importance of being able to share information about intervention programs for people who use violence and to help victims understand and navigate both criminal and civil justice systems when that is relevant to their choices and circumstances.
The primary operational purpose is nationwide referral capacity, meaning the hotline must be able to connect people to local and specialized help, including domestic violence shelters, outreach programs, social service agencies, programs designed to support children impacted by domestic violence, legal assistance providers, and economic self-sufficiency services. Beyond simply providing contact information, the hotline is expected to directly connect callers who need immediate shelter or supportive services with a local domestic violence service provider, effectively acting as a bridge to on-the-ground assistance.
Funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement in the funded project compared with a standard grant. ACF anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $16,989,375. The opportunity was created on 2025-07-07 and has an application closing date of 2025-07-22.
Eligibility is limited. Applicants must be nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are explicitly ineligible and will be disqualified from merit review and funding consideration. Faith-based and community organizations that otherwise meet eligibility rules may apply on the same basis as other organizations. The notice further states that, consistent with applicable federal protections and requirements (including 45 CFR Part 87 and 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.), ACF will not discriminate in its selection decisions based on an organization’s religious character, affiliation, or exercise.Apply for HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS EV 0032
