Nevada Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence

The Nevada Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence (NCEDSV) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Reno, Nevada, that serves as the state's designated coalition for coordinating comprehensive responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Operating since its registration in the federal system in 2003, NCEDSV provides critical victim services, prevention activities, and technical assistance across Nevada through federal grant awards. The organization functions as a statewide coordinating body that brings together diverse stakeholders including law enforcement, judicial systems, victim advocates, and community-based service providers to implement coordinated strategies addressing violence against women and vulnerable populations.

NCEDSV has demonstrated consistent federal funding engagement through multiple grant programs administered by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and the Department of Health and Human Services' National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The organization has received formula grants under the State and Territory Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556), including awards of $353,303 (fiscal year 2025-2026) and $367,379 (fiscal year 2024-2025), which support coordination of statewide victim services, training and technical assistance to member organizations, public education campaigns, and multi-agency collaboration on violence prevention initiatives. NCEDSV also received a substantial $750,000 Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program grant (CFDA 16.589) with a 36-month performance period through September 2026, delivered in partnership with five sub-awardees including Harbor House, Consolidated Agency Of Human Services, Nevada Outreach Training Organization (No To Abuse), Winnemucca Domestic Violence Shelter, and Domestic Violence Intervention to expand advocacy, counseling, legal assistance, and outreach services across nine rural Nevada counties. Additionally, NCEDSV has received project grants from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control for a Nevada Health Equity initiative addressing sexual violence as a public health emergency and a Primary Prevention Capacity Assessment project focused on identifying gaps in prevention services and health inequities affecting vulnerable populations including racial and ethnic minorities, tribal populations, and rural communities. The organization has also served as a sub-grantee through various prime grantees including the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services and the Division of Child and Family Services, providing workshops on healthy relationship education, VAAN training for child protective services workers, rape prevention and education support for youth ages 12-24, and gender equity training and policy recommendations to advance protections for women and girls in Nevada.
