Documenting the impact OVW grants make on victims of VAWA crimes, their families, and their communities.
January to June 2025 (JJ2025) Performance Reporting: Now Open!
As of July 1, 2025, the VAWA Indicators * Measurements * Performance * Achievements * Challenges * Technical Assistance Tool (IMPACT Tool) is now open for JJ25 performance reporting!
The IMPACT Tool is a web-based tool that all OVW Discretionary grantees and Formula Subgrantees* will use to prepare their performance data for submission to OVW. Its purpose is to simplify reporting and alleviate undue burden on grantees while generating better, timely, and more accurate information on how grantees use their funds. Remember, completed JJ2025 performance reports are due in JustGrants by July 30th, 2025.
Visit your program-specific page to learn more about how to use the IMPACT Tool and access your reporting form!
*Formula subgrantees only report once per year; and will report again in March 2026.
Training Opportunities
In July 2025, VAWA MEI will hold several live webinars to refresh your knowledge and orient new grantees to IMPACT Tool and performance reporting. Visit the Webinars page to register!
