The Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) Division on Gender-based Violence (DGBV) seeks applications from organizations to provide training and education on gender-based violence (GBV) and/or human trafficking (HT) that is tailored for institutions with staff who work directly with community members.   

The GBV/HT Training and Education Program seeks Respondents that have a demonstrated history of working in the community with GBV/HT survivors and developing and executing awareness and prevention trainings to educate and prevent future harm.

The term of contract(s) executed under this RFP will be from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026. Based on need, availability of funds and contractor performance, DFSS may extend this term for up to one year.

We anticipate that there will be two to four awards with annual amounts of $150,000 through $300,000 each.

DFSS anticipates funding 2 to 4 agencies. This contract will operate on a reimbursement basis only. No advances will be given.
