OVC FY 2026 Preventing Trafficking of Girls

The Office for Victims of Crime is seeking proposals for the OVC FY 2026 Preventing Trafficking of Girls federal grant program. Selected grantees will implement prevention and early intervention services designed to support girls who are at risk of, or who are victims of, human trafficking as defined by federal statute. This funding opportunity is restricted to private institutions of higher education and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The program has an estimated total funding of $3,511,939 to support approximately seven awards, with an individual award ceiling of $500,000. Applications must be submitted by September 29, 2026, and questions can be directed to the OJP Response Center at OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov.
