CCAW is not sponsored by OVW, but grantees may still be eligible to use OVW grant funds to attend.
We recommend reaching out to your grant manager for approval. Once approved, your grant manager will guide you through the process of using OVW grant funds to attend CCAW.
Per Sherriann Moore, OVW Deputy Director for Tribal Affairs, OVW Tribal Governments Program, Tribal Jurisdictions Program, Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program, and Tribal Coalitions Program grantees are authorized to support registration and travel costs for up to three (3) Tribal leaders or Tribal representatives to attend the 2025 Conference on Crimes Against Women utilizing grant funds, without seeking additional authorization from their OVW Grants Management Specialist though a Grant Award Modification (GAM) in JustGrants. If a Tribal grantee requests to cover costs for more than three (3) attendees, please contact your OVW Tribal Grant Management Specialist for approval. Grantees should ensure sufficient travel funds are available in their approved grant award budget to cover these costs, including funds available for grantee required annual travel. Grantees should keep a copy of this notice in their grant file for audit purposes.
