Dawson County Domestic Violence Program

County Of Dawson is a corporate entity registered as a tax-exempt, non-profit organization with a specific focus on providing domestic shelter services. Located in Montana, the organization is registered in SAM.gov with an active status until July 9, 2025, and has demonstrated a commitment to serving rural communities through various victim support initiatives. As a non-profit organization, County Of Dawson operates primarily in the domains of social services, specifically targeting victim assistance and community support programs.

The organization has secured significant federal grant awards, most notably a $609,058 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) focused on enhancing services for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in rural Montana counties. Through this grant and previous sub-awards, County Of Dawson has collaborated with multiple state-level partners including the Montana Board Of Crime Control, Montana Department of Corrections, and the Montana Department of Health and Human Services. Their grant-funded activities include establishing sexual assault response teams, providing crisis intervention services, implementing prevention and awareness strategies, offering counseling and supportive assistance, and developing community-based programs to address violence against women. The sub-awards have specifically supported efforts such as increasing public awareness about family and domestic violence, providing emergency shelter, supporting direct victim services, and creating prevention curriculum for middle-school aged students across Dawson, Prairie, and Wibaux Counties.
