Opportunity Information: Apply for CE CYT 18 001
The 2018 CyberTipline Program (Funding Opportunity Number CE CYT 18 001) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Office of Procurement Operations - Grants Division, under CFDA 97.076. The purpose of the grant is to fund efforts that promote public awareness and use of the CyberTipline, a reporting mechanism operated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and treated as a law enforcement priority. The CyberTipline was formerly known as the National Child Pornography Tip Line, and the central focus of this opportunity is expanding recognition of the CyberTipline as a trusted avenue for reporting suspected online child sexual exploitation.
The program is designed to support promotional and educational activities aimed at multiple audiences, including the general public, online users, electronic service providers (ESPs), and domestic and international law enforcement partners. The underlying idea is straightforward: when more people and organizations know the CyberTipline exists, understand what it is for, and feel confident using it, there will be more timely reporting, better investigative leads, and ultimately fewer opportunities for continued abuse and victimization. The opportunity explicitly emphasizes global reach, encouraging outreach that can educate stakeholders worldwide about the benefits of using the CyberTipline.
Allowable approaches are described broadly and center on awareness and outreach. The notice highlights education campaigns, participation in or hosting events, and the creation and distribution of materials such as posters and brochures, along with other methods that can effectively reach audiences across different locations. In practical terms, the work funded by this grant would likely include developing clear messaging about what to report, how to report, why reporting matters, and how the CyberTipline fits into the broader response ecosystem for child exploitation cases. Because ESPs are specifically named, the grant also anticipates efforts that help platforms and service providers understand reporting pathways and reinforce consistent, effective reporting behaviors.
The ICE/HSI Cyber Crimes Division sets out three main objectives for the effort. First, the program seeks to cultivate effective reporting by actively disseminating information about how to use the CyberTipline to report child exploitation to the public, online communities, ESPs, and law enforcement in the United States and abroad. Second, it aims to ensure that stakeholders domestically and internationally are aware that there is an established, formal avenue for reporting child sexual exploitation through the CyberTipline. Third, it intends to encourage members of the public to actually use the CyberTipline when they encounter suspected child sexual exploitation, with the broader goal of preventing further harm and reducing ongoing victimization.
In terms of eligibility, the opportunity is open to a range of organization types, including nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, and small businesses. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $305,000, and the opportunity anticipated making a single award. The opportunity was created on August 1, 2018, with an original closing date of August 31, 2018.Apply for CE CYT 18 001
