Abstract: The STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program was
authorized through the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA),
amended and reauthorized in 2000, 2005, 2013 and 2022. The STOP
(Services, Training, Officers, and Prosecutors) Violence Against Women
Formula Grant Program provides funding to states and territories for
use by state, local, and Indian Tribal governments, courts, and victim
service providers. This program enhances the capacity of local
communities to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and
prosecution strategies to combat domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault and stalking and to develop and strengthen
comprehensive, holistic victim services. The grant funds must be
distributed by STOP state administrators to subgrantees according to a
statutory formula.
Each state and territory must allocate 25 percent for law
enforcement, 25 percent for prosecutors, 30 percent for victim services
(of which at least 10 percent must be distributed to culturally
specific community-based organizations), 5 percent to state and local
courts, and 15 percent for discretionary distribution. VAWA provides
for a 25 percent match requirement imposed on grant funds under the
STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program. Thus, a grant made
under this program may not cover more than 75 percent of the total
costs of the project being funded. The state is exempted from matching
the portion of the state award that goes to a victim service provider
for victim services or that goes to a tribe. Territories are also
exempted in full. States can apply to have the match requirement waived
by submitting a petition to OVW and a demonstrating financial need. At
the time of closeout, OVW will look at the entities and purposes of
funds and determine the required match amount.
The purpose of this information collection is to provide a
worksheet for documenting the amount of matching funds required at the
closeout of a specific fiscal year award under the STOP Violence
Against Women Formula Grant Program. The type of questions on the
worksheet will include award number, award amount and amount of funds
sub-awarded to victim service providers for victim services or to
tribes.
