Victims

The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is the administering agency for the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Victim Fund (VSDVVF) grant program. Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Victim Fund grants are available to non-profit programs, local units of government, and state agencies that provide services to victims of and/or children affected by sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking and family abuse. Eligible applicants include law enforcement agencies, victims’ services programs, and programs that provide civil legal assistance.

These Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Grant Program (SADVGP) Guidelines provide detailed guidance to aid applicants in determining eligibility, developing itemized budgets and budget narratives, and completing other related forms, including service delivery targets. Using the guidance presented in this document, applicants should be able to efficiently and effectively prepare complete applications. These guidelines are a combination of the Sexual Assault Grant Program and the VOCA Domestic Violence Grant Program (formerly administered by the Virginia Department of Social Services).
