Alaska Network On Domestic Violence And Sexual Assault, Inc.

Alaska Network On Domestic Violence And Sexual Assault, Inc. (ANDVSA), registered as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization and headquartered in Juneau, Alaska, serves as the federally recognized state coalition for Alaska dedicated to addressing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. As the designated statewide domestic violence and sexual assault coalition, ANDVSA coordinates victim services activities across Alaska and collaborates with federal, state, local, and tribal entities to implement comprehensive strategies that advance victim safety, offender accountability, and prevention efforts. The organization coordinates support for 23 member programs throughout Alaska that serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence, providing training, technical assistance, pro bono legal services, and shared resources to strengthen the capacity of victim service providers and criminal justice partners.

ANDVSA has demonstrated substantial federal funding support through multiple grant awards from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCPC), the Administration on Children Youth and Families (ACYF), and the Victims of Crime office. The organization currently manages several active project and formula grants, including a $3 million Congressionally Recommended Award (CFDA 16.753) focused on organizational capacity building through the creation of new staff positions including a Deputy Director, Domestic Violence Advocacy Specialist, Communications Director, and Criminal Justice Planner; a $950,000 Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance grant (CFDA 16.589) supporting integrated services, training, and expansion of sexual assault response services in rural communities; a $750,000 Legal Assistance for Victims grant (CFDA 16.524) administered through the "Alaska Survivor Legal Relief Project" in partnership with the Alaska Institute for Justice and the Alaska Native Women's Resource Center, providing comprehensive civil and criminal legal services to victims aged 11 and older; and ongoing formula grants through the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) providing direct coordination and victim services funding. Additional federal support includes grants from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control for sexual violence prevention capacity building and primary prevention efforts addressing gender pay equity and economic supports; a Delta Ahead Cooperative Agreement (NCPC) focusing on addressing health inequities that contribute to disproportionate rates of intimate partner violence for Alaska Native populations, youth, and women through social determinants of health interventions; and formula grants from the Administration on Children Youth and Families for statewide domestic violence coalition activities. ANDVSA has also received sub-grant awards from the Alaska Department of Public Safety for direct victim services, legal assistance support for survivors of violent crimes, legal advocacy, and training and technical assistance for legal advocates, demonstrating its role as a critical pass-through entity distributing federal resources to local service providers and strengthening the statewide response to violence against women.
