Sfmt 4703

Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) and
amended and reauthorized in 2000,
2005, 2013 and 2022. The STOP
(Services, Training, Officers, and
Prosecutors) Violence Against Women
Formula Grant Program funding is
awarded to States and Territories. It
enhances the capacity of local
communities to develop and strengthen
effective law enforcement and
prosecution strategies to combat
domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault and stalking and to
develop and strengthen comprehensive,
holistic victim services. The grant funds
must be distributed by STOP State
administrators to subgrantees according
to a statutory formula. The Department
of Justice’s Office on Violence Against
Women administers the STOP Formula
Grant Program funds which are awarded
to States and territories to enhance the
capacity of local communities to
develop and strengthen effective law
enforcement and prosecution strategies
to combat violent crimes against women
and to develop and strengthen victim
services in cases involving violent
crimes against women. Each State and
territory must allocate 25 percent for
law enforcement, 25 percent for
prosecutors, 30 percent for victim
services (of which at least 10 percent
must be distributed to culturally
specific community-based
organizations), 5 percent to State and
local courts, and 15 percent for
discretionary distribution. VAWA
provides for a 25 percent match
requirement imposed on grant funds
under the STOP Formula Grant
Program. Thus, a grant made under this
program may not cover more than 75
percent of the total costs of the project
being funded. Under VAWA 2005, the
State cannot require matching funds for
a grant or subgrant for any Tribe,
Territory, or victim service provider,
regardless of funding allocation
category. The State is exempted from
matching the portion of the State award
that goes to a victim service provider for
victim services or that goes to Tribes.
Territories are also exempted in full.
States can receive additional waiver of
match based on a petition to OVW and
a demonstration of financial need. OVW
will look at the time of closeout at the
entities and purposes of funds and base
the required match. The purpose of this
information collection is to provide a
worksheet for documenting the amount
of matching funds required at the
closeout of a specific fiscal year award
under the STOP Formula Grant
Program. The type of questions on the
worksheet will include award number,
award amount, amount of funds sub-
