Alaska Training and Technical Assistance - Victims of Crime | DC VOC TTA 20 001

Opportunity Information: Apply for DC VOC TTA 20 001

The Alaska Training and Technical Assistance - Victims of Crime opportunity is a discretionary federal funding effort led by the Denali Commission, an independent agency created by Congress in 1998 to strengthen essential services and economic support across Alaska, particularly in remote communities. Through a partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), the Denali Commission is administering a broader $7 million initiative aimed at improving services for victims of crime in Alaska tribal areas. Within that larger effort, this specific award focuses on building the on-the-ground capacity of Alaska Native tribal communities by providing structured training and hands-on technical assistance, while most of the overall program funding is reserved for micro-grants that will directly support local victim service activities.

The core purpose of the award is to fund an Alaska-based training and technical assistance (AK TTA) provider that can guide communities from the earliest stages of planning a project through the practical realities of micro-grant implementation, using an approach that is culturally informed and appropriate for tribal settings. The role is not simply to deliver trainings, but to help communities successfully launch, manage, and sustain victim service efforts under the micro-grant structure, which often requires close coaching on administrative requirements, program design, and documentation.

A major part of the work involves helping subgrantees meet federal reporting and performance expectations. The AK TTA provider will support administrative and programmatic reporting both to the Denali Commission and to DOJ/OVC systems, specifically using DOJ performance measurement tools such as the Subgrant Award Report, the Subgrantee Performance Measures Report, and the Grantee report. In addition to assisting with compliance, the provider will be responsible for collecting information on services delivered, summarizing those services into usable reports, and producing formal year-end and end-of-grant reports. Those reports are expected to document what training and technical assistance were delivered and to highlight micro-grantee accomplishments and lessons learned in a format that can be used by both the Denali Commission and DOJ.

The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, meaning the Denali Commission is likely to maintain a more active partnership role in the project than in a standard grant. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DC VOC TTA 20 001) lists a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $520,000, with one award expected. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created March 31, 2020, with an original closing date of May 15, 2020.
