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.

What is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) funding?

VAWA authorizes multiple grant programs administered by DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women. These include STOP Formula Grants to states, Legal Assistance for Victims, Transitional Housing Assistance, and programs for underserved populations. Annual appropriations typically exceed $600 million across all VAWA programs.

Can new domestic violence organizations get grants?

Yes, but starting through state channels is often easier. State VAWA administrators pass through federal funds to local organizations. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act provides formula grants through states. Joining your state domestic violence coalition opens access to training, networking, and grant opportunities.

Are there grants for domestic violence prevention education?

Yes. The CDC's DELTA program funds primary prevention. OVW's Consolidated Youth-Oriented Program supports prevention education. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Avon Foundation fund prevention research and programs. Many state agencies and school districts fund evidence-based prevention curricula.
