FY 2021 OVW state and territory coalitions grant program

The Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Inc., doing business as WCASA, received a $172,076 Formula Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions program (CFDA 16.556). The grant period runs from September 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.

Under this award, WCASA will coordinate Wisconsin's victim services activities and collaborate with federal, state, and local entities engaged in violence against women initiatives. Specifically, WCASA will work to coordinate the state's 56 sexual assault and domestic violence programs, provide training and technical assistance, develop public education and awareness campaigns, and advocate for policies to prevent and address domestic violence and sexual assault. This funding supports WCASA's role in strengthening Wisconsin's response to these issues at the state level through coalition-building efforts.
