The Grants Administrator 3 (GA
3) is the lead grant administrator for all grants awarded by the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA). Key responsibilities include administering and managing over 100 sub-awards funded through a combination of multi-year federal and state general funds. The GA 3 oversees grantee financial compliance monitoring, develops and coordinates the grantee solicitation process, utilizes grant management software to administer and track required documentation, and works with federal and state auditors to ensure compliance with federal and state fiscal requirements.

The GA 3 works closely with a GA 1/2 and Admin Operations Manager to provide administrative support activities related to the disbursement of funds to community organizations to support the mission of CDVSA.

CDVSA's purpose is to empower Alaska communities to create a future free from domestic and sexual violence. Additionally, CDVSA has built a comprehensive, interconnected system of services accessible to all Alaskans that promotes safety and decreases domestic and sexual violence. The mission of the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, located within the Department of Public Safety, is to promote the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault through a statewide system of support, safety, intervention, education, and accountability and healing for those who cause harm.

CDVSA's core values are excellence, passion, receptivity, and collaboration.

CDVSA is a small, dynamic team of eleven (11) staff plus an 11-member board of directors. The staff works both as a team, as well as independently, to guarantee coordinated and collective outcomes. The CDVSA team provides funding, support, training, and technical assistance to 34 community-based nonprofit agencies all working to end domestic, sexual, and other violence in Alaska. Because Alaska ranks number one in intimate partner and interpersonal violence across the country, the work CDVSA does is critically important to improve the health, well-being, safety, and growth of all Alaskans.

Working at CDVSA requires compassion for those we serve and passion for the mission, including an overriding desire to end domestic and sexual violence in Alaska.
