The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is accepting applications through the On-line Grant Management System (OGMS) (www.ogms.dcjs.virginia.gov/index.do) for calendar year (CY) 2026, for federal Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) funding.
The purpose of this grant program is to support rape crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations or tribal programs that provide core services, direct intervention, and related assistance to victims of sexual assault.
SASP was created by the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 Technical Amendments and is the first federal funding stream solely dedicated to the provision of direct intervention and related assistance for victims of sexual assault. SASP is administered at the federal level by the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
DCJS is the State Administering Agency for SASP. DCJS, in partnership with other stakeholders, seeks to consider the array of needs of all sexual assault victims and available services in the Commonwealth when developing implementation strategies. Funds provided through SASP are designed to supplement other funding sources directed at addressing sexual assault.
