Summary
Established by the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, this grant program helps provide victims with the protection and services they need to pursue safe and healthy lives, while improving communities' capacity to hold offenders accountable for their crimes.
Funding for this project comes from the Services* Training* Officers* Prosecutors (STOP) Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program (STOP Formula Grant Program) administered in Washington State by the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy (OCVA), Washington State Department of Commerce.
Funds awarded through this competitive application must support efforts to develop and strengthen services and effective strategies in response to the crime of sexual assault against adults or youth, age 11 and older, in Washington State.
There is not a list of eligible activities for the SA Services grant. All proposed services and/or activities must meaningfully address sexual assault.

The base funding for each county is $45,000, with additional funding allocated based on population and square miles.
