Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence received a $353,303 formula grant award from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This award supports the Coalition's core mission to coordinate statewide victim services activities and collaborate with federal, state, territory, and local entities engaged in violence against women initiatives. The funding enables the Coalition to serve as the designated state domestic violence and sexual assault coalition for New Hampshire, facilitating comprehensive coordination across the state's crisis centers and member programs.

Under this award, the Coalition delivers training and technical assistance to member organizations, develops public education campaigns addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and works with local sexual assault programs, judicial and law enforcement agencies, and child protective services to ensure appropriate responses to cases of gender-based violence. Additionally, the Coalition distributes sub-grant funding to direct service providers throughout New Hampshire, supporting critical victim services including crisis hotlines, shelter, housing assistance, and sexual assault support services. The award also supports the Coalition's planning and monitoring of grant distribution to ensure effective resource allocation and policy development that reduces and eliminates sexual assault at the state level.
