STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program
The STOP (Services, Training, Officers, and Prosecutors) Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program 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 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.
In 2023, OVW gave out 56 awards totaling $172.93 million.
