OVC FY25 Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "OVC FY25 Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking." This initiative aims to develop, enhance, and coordinate programs that improve outcomes for child and youth victims of sex and labor trafficking through strategic planning and service implementation at the state or Tribal jurisdiction level. The funding is critical for addressing the challenges of identifying and serving these vulnerable populations, as well as for prosecuting traffickers effectively. Interested applicants can apply for grants ranging from $0 to $1,600,000, with an estimated total program funding of $4,800,000 available for three expected awards. The application deadline is March 11, 2026, and for further assistance, applicants can contact the OJP Response Center at OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov or visit the additional information page at https://ovc.ojp.gov/program/human-trafficking/grants-funding.
Eligible Applicants
This funding opportunity will support state or Tribal jurisdictions that have never received Improving Outcomes funding as well as those that have previously received funding. To be considered for FY 2025 funding, all entities that have current OVC Improving Outcomes awards with project periods that will overlap with the proposed project must clearly describe how the proposed project would differ from, or expand, their existing OVC-funded projects, including a new scope, services, cost items, or a distinct geographic scope not included in the original application.
