ODSVS and the Formula for Joint Non-Competitive Funds

Oregon Domestic and Sexual Violence Services (ODSVS) funds are allocated and distributed through a through a joint non-competitive funding formula. The funds are awarded to non-profit organizations that provide advocacy services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and dating violence. The joint formula was established in 2006 after completion of a study which focused on geographic equity and attempted to reconcile the needs of organizations serving rural and urban areas. The formula is designed to provide funding for three FTE to meet the critical response needs of survivors in each county or service area. It is not intended to meet the full funding needs of organizations and programs identified as recipients within the joint formula.

Each biennium, an application is released for the Joint Non-Competitive Funds. The Request for Applications was sent to eligible applicants by email on Monday, April 28, 2025. Applicants will find the application already initiated and available in the CVSSD EGrants system. Contact your fund coordinator if you need help establishing an account in EGrants for you or a member of your team to access the application.

Applicants will complete the application in two parts, 1) general information about the organization, common requirements across all funds, and meaningful access to services, and 2) budgets for state and federal grant funds. The first part of the application is due Tuesday, May 27, 2025. Once state and federal fund allocations are announced, ODOJ CVSSD and ODHS will require applicants to complete budgets for the Joint Non-Competitive Funds.

Guidance about ODSVS funds is available below. Guidance about VOCA and VAWA funds is also available on the ODOJ website.

The DSV Services Statewide Report is required of non-profit organizations and Tribal Nation victim services programs that receive Joint Non-Competitive Funds from ODOJ and ODHS. This report replaces the long-standing “Striving to Meet the Need” report. The DSV Services Statewide Report must be submitted every six months with the progress reports for the Joint Non-Competitive Funds.
