Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

This funding announcement requires two separate but coordinated applications from each human trafficking task force seeking funding: one application from a lead state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency (which includes state and local departments of public safety or agencies with public safety missions), and one application from a lead victim service organization (which may be a public agency or a nongovernmental organization). The two applications must be developed in collaboration with each other, and must be submitted as a pair, with each applicant naming the other as the primary partner. Pursuant to 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2) the following entities are eligible to apply: (1) States and territories; (2) Units of local government; (3) Indian tribes; and (4) Nonprofit, nongovernmental victims’ service organizations with the capacity to serve human trafficking victims (defined as an organization that is described in section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 and is exempt from taxation under 501(a) of such title). Entities which have received human trafficking grants from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in FY 2018 or FY 2019 to support their participation in multidisciplinary task forces are ineligible to apply unless the new proposed project would differ from or expand the existing funded project(s). All recipients and subrecipients must forgo any profit or management fee. Nonprofit organizations that hold money in offshore accounts for the purpose of avoiding paying the tax described in 26 U.S.C. § 511(a) are not eligible to apply.

What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

OVC and BJA are seeking applications to develop or support multidisciplinary task forces (TFs) to combat human trafficking. This program has two purpose areas (PAs). PA 1: help TFs with critical first steps related to starting up a multidisciplinary TF. PA 2: allows TFs to compete for funding to expand their TF operations and partnerships, implement TF sustainability plans, and assist OJP in building the capacity of other TFs in the field. Each TF selected for funding will receive two separate grants: one from OVC to a victim service partner, and one from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to a state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency partner. OVC and BJA anticipate making 18 awards under PA 1 (9 TFs) of up to $1.5 million per TF and up to 10 awards under PA 2 (5 TFs) of up to $1.5 million per TF. OVC and BJA will conduct a pre-application webinar on Monday, March 30, 2020, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. e.t. Register at www.ovc.gov/grants/webinars.html. Apply by May 18, 2020.
