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 which include ODSVS, VOCA and VAWA funds. The Request for Applications was sent to eligible applicants in April 2025 through the CVSSD EGrants system.

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