The VOCA Formula Grant Program, created under the 1984 Victims of Crime Act, provides federal funding to support victim assistance and compensation programs, to provide training for diverse professionals who work with victims, to develop projects to enhance victims’ rights and services, and to undertake public education and awareness activities on behalf of crime victims. The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) was created by the U.S. Department of Justice and formally established by Congress in 1988 through an amendment to the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (VOCA). OVC provides federal funds to support victim assistance and compensation programs around the country. The Crime Victims’ Fund is the source of funding for these programs. Millions of dollars are deposited into the Crime Victims’ Fund annually from criminal fines, forfeited bail bonds, penalties, and special assessments collected by U.S. Attorneys' Offices, federal U.S. courts, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. To date, Crime Victims’ Fund dollars have always come from offenders convicted of federal crimes, not from taxpayers.

The primary objective of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program is to provide direct assistance to victims of crime. That assistance is achieved through a variety of methods, including local government, private nonprofit organizations enhancing or expanding their direct services to victims of crime, encouraging states to improve assistance to crime victims, and promoting the development of comprehensive services to all victims of crime.

Continuation Funding Only

Applicants are limited to agencies within the State of Georgia that received FY2025 VOCA awards, serve victims of crime, particularly victims of violent crimes, and are operated by a public agency, nonprofit organization, or combination of such agencies or organizations.

Applicant agencies should be certified and eligible to receive Local Victim Assistance Program (LVAP) 5% funds. Agencies without certification may apply for funding; however, if funding is awarded, the agency must complete certification requirements prior to receiving an award.

Applicants should review the VOCA RFA in its entirety and submit the completed application, including the requested information and all required attachments.
