Grant Description

This funding opportunity will support one collaboration of technical assistance providers to develop a leadership academy and promote leadership within the domestic violence field by members of underrepresented groups. By the end of the grant period, the grantee will be expected to have increased leadership opportunities for underrepresented group members in pre-selected States (including federally recognized Tribes located within the States' borders) by providing training, mentoring, peer support, and skills development to members of underrepresented groups and working with organizations in the States (and Tribes, were applicable) to improve cultural competency and support for leadership by members of underrepresented groups. The grantee will have created a leadership academy that can be expanded or replicated, conducted an evaluation of outcomes, and have developed mechanisms to disseminate information nationally.
