About domestic violence grants

Domestic violence grants fund shelters, crisis hotlines, legal advocacy, prevention programs, and transitional services. The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) within DOJ is the primary federal funder, while HHS, FHIP, and foundations provide additional support for organizations combating domestic and sexual violence.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow domestic violence grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.
