Who is eligible to apply?

Federally recognized tribal nations outside of Alaska who have not received funding from one of the following grant programs in 2018 or 2019:
- OVC FY 2019 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program;
- DOJ FY 2019 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (Purpose Area 7 Tribal Victim Services); and
- OVC FY 2018 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program
Consortia applicants (two or more eligible tribes who are interested in receiving funding as a consortium). All of the consortia applicants must be eligible under the criteria above.
Designees (an organization who has been authorized by an eligible tribal nation to apply on behalf of the tribe). All of the designee applicants must be eligible under the criteria above.

How can I check my eligibility?

Here is a list of current OVC Tribal Nation Grantees who are ineligible for 2020 funding.
DOJ has a searchable database of grantees where you can check to see if your tribal nation received funding from one of the three grant opportunities above.

Tribal nations in Alaska may be eligible for a similar funding opportunity that is being administered by the Denali Commission.
If funds are not fully expended in 2020, the NCAI Fund will release a second round of funding in early 2021 that will be available for all federally recognized tribal nations outside of Alaska. If you have any questions about your eligibility, please contact microgrants@ncai.org.
