Services Act (FVPSA) Formula Grants Applications Due Date Change
Survey
PURPOSE: In response to Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVSPA) formula grant recipient requests for earlier dissemination of annual grant awards, all FVPSA formula grant application submission deadlines are being changed to January 31, 2023, to ensure that the Office of Grants Management (OGM) can issue the formula grant awards by May 30, 2023.

The ultimate goal is to ensure ACF is meeting the needs of current and future funding recipients through the grant application process.

To account for fringe benefits and overhead the rate was multiplied by two which is $52.78.
