Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS FV 0027
The Native Hawaiian Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NHRCDV) is a federal discretionary funding opportunity from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS), to support a single statewide resource center focused on strengthening how organizations serve Native Hawaiian survivors of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence. The goal is to build and expand culturally grounded, culturally sensitive, and locally relevant responses across Hawaii by providing community education, training, and technical assistance to service providers and organizations that work with Native Hawaiian communities. The funded center is intended to function as a hub that helps improve program quality, workforce skills, coordinated responses, and access to effective practices that reflect Native Hawaiian culture and community realities.
The NHRCDV will also operate as part of a broader national network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers. In practical terms, that means the center is not only expected to assist local and statewide programs directly, but also to contribute leadership, expertise, and capacity-building support that aligns with national efforts to strengthen domestic violence services and improve outcomes for victims and their children. The emphasis is on reinforcing and elevating the work of existing victim service programs rather than replacing them, by offering specialized training, tools, technical consultation, and education tailored to Native Hawaiian communities.
Only one award is expected to be made under this announcement, with a maximum (ceiling) of $1,000,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on priorities, deliverables, reporting, or coordination with other federally supported resource centers). Preference is explicitly given to applicants proposing to establish or maintain the resource center in the State of Hawaii, and applications that do so can receive bonus points, reinforcing that the center should be rooted in and accountable to the communities it serves.
Eligibility is framed around the statutory requirements for a State Resource Center to Reduce Tribal Disparities under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), cited at 42 U.S.C. 10410(b)(3) and related provisions. To qualify, an applicant must be a Native Hawaiian organization located in a state where Native Hawaiians exceed 10 percent of the state population, must primarily focus on domestic violence issues affecting Native Hawaiians, and must demonstrate the ability to serve all regions of the state, including underdeveloped areas and places far from population centers. The opportunity also lists eligible applicant types such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), provided they meet the underlying eligibility standards. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible as well if they meet the program requirements, and the notice states that the agency will not discriminate based on religious character or affiliation, consistent with applicable federal protections and rules.
Individuals, sole proprietorships, and foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from merit review. The opportunity is identified as HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS FV 0027, falls under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 93.592, and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The application deadline listed is September 2, 2025.Apply for HHS 2025 ACF OFVPS FV 0027
