Description

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OVC FY 2026 Invited to Apply Antiterrorism and Emergency Assistance Program for Crime Victim Compensation and/or Assistance. This opportunity supports victims of mass violence and terrorism through the Antiterrorism Emergency Assistance Program (AEAP). Funding for this program comes from the Antiterrorism Emergency Reserve (the Emergency Reserve). Along with non-grant training and consultation services, there are four types of grants that may be combined into one application or awarded separately to entities OVC invites to apply for funding: crisis response, consequence management, criminal justice support, and crime victim compensation. The overall goal of AEAP is to provide supplemental support to criminal mass violence and terrorism victims. The overall objective is to increase access to programs designed to improve services, assistance (including victim compensation), and outcomes for victims of mass violence and terrorism. AEAP grants are a mechanism by which the Director of OVC may award supplemental crime victim compensation and assistance to eligible entities responding to acts of mass criminal violence or domestic terrorism. The event must be sufficiently large that the jurisdiction cannot provide needed services to victims of the incident with existing resources, while also supporting victims of other crimes, in a timely and comprehensive manner. OVC generally uses AEAP funds only in response to incidents that are sufficiently large in scope for the locale, and typically only where there was an unpredictable, indiscriminate, or broad targeting of victims, or otherwise unique aspect to the crime.
