Helping Outreach Programs to Expand Grant Program (HOPE)

From the website:

Since the program was launched in November 2002, OVC has
offered grants to grassroots, nonprofit, community- and
faith-based victim organizations and coalitions to improve
outreach and services to victims of crime.

Background
Through a series of roundtable meetings with crime victims
and victim advocates, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)
has become aware of a growing body of grassroots, nonprofit,
community- and faith-based victim organizations and
coalitions who are not linked to mainstream victim service
programs and who do not have access to traditional funding
for services, outreach, and networking. Oftentimes, these
organizations need only a small amount of money and access
to resources to expand and enhance their outreach and
services to crime victims.

What Is Helping Outreach Programs to Expand?
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs,
Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will provide up to $10,000
in funding to grassroots community- and faith-based victim
service organizations and coalitions to improve outreach
and services to crime victims, through support of program
development, networking, coalition building, and service
delivery. Funds may be used to develop program literature,
train advocates, produce a newsletter, support victim
outreach efforts, and recruit volunteers.

Who Can Apply?
Organizations and coalitions operating for at least 1 year
that have not received federal VOCA victim assistance grant
funding and that have an annual operating budget of $50,000
or less may apply. All applicants must also have a history
of serving crime victims.
