Applications under which two or more entities (project partners) would carry out the federal award will be considered. However, only one entity may be the applicant for the NOFO; any others must be proposed as subrecipients. See the Application Resource Guide for additional information on subawards.

This NOFO will support sites that are implementing OVC-funded anti-human trafficking programs to design and implement ongoing engagement with survivors of human trafficking, as defined by 22 U.S.C. § 7102(11), to improve outcomes for human trafficking victims.  

To inform and improve anti-trafficking programming, applicants should propose approaches that help build OVC anti-trafficking grantees’ capacity to identify and partner with survivors in their local community, state, or region. The awardee will deliver training and technical assistance on effective victim service programming for trafficking survivors. This includes intensive support to recipients of each fiscal year’s new human trafficking victim service awards during their first year of implementation, as well as ongoing support for entities implementing existing awards.  

OVC expects the successful applicant to propose innovative strategies for OVC anti-trafficking grantees to develop these partnerships and offer organizational peer support on survivor engagement approaches. OVC is interested in proposals that maximize the number of grantees supported through this effort.

Parkinson's Foundation 2026 Community Grants

No Applicants // Limit: 2 // Tickets Available: 2

Limiting Language 
Organizations may only submit a total of two applications during a community grant cycle and there cannot be any overlap in the budget items requested.

Program Overview
The Parkinson’s Foundation funds community grants that further the health, wellness and education of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) across the U.S.

The Foundation recognizes the unprecedented need for community-related programs and events. In the last three years the Foundation has awarded over $3 million in community grants to support programs providing services for people living with and affected by Parkinson's disease. These programs benefit communities in 39 states across the country.

Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $12.7 million in 969 community-based programs that improve life for people living with PD.

The 2026 Community Grant cycle will be supported by the estate of Stanley and Gloria Brams, members of the PD community from Brooklyn, New York.  Stanley was diagnosed at the age of 52. Following Stanley’s passing, his wife Gloria decided to dedicate a significant portion of their estate to the Foundation’s commitment to making an impact on local PD communities. In keeping with the Brams’ personal values, this generous donation will make a lasting impact for so many across the country.

Programs for the 2026 grant cycle should be geared towards expanding or creating access for populations of focus and must incorporate at least one of the following focus areas: 

  1. Address mental health and PD
  2. Reach and support care partners of individuals with PD
  3. Educate and deliver exercise programs specifically designed for people with PD
