New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic And Sexual Violence

The New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic And Sexual Violence is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Concord that serves as the designated state domestic violence and sexual assault coalition for New Hampshire. Through federal grant awards, the organization coordinates comprehensive victim services, collaborates with federal, state, and local entities engaged in violence against women initiatives, and implements strategies to prevent and respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking throughout the state. The Coalition operates as a critical hub for coordinating services across New Hampshire's crisis centers and member programs while advancing health equity and culturally appropriate responses to gender-based violence.

The Coalition has received multiple prime grant awards and numerous sub-grant awards from several federal agencies that reflect the breadth of its work. Under the Office on Violence Against Women's State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556), the organization has received consecutive Formula Grants, including awards of $367,379 (FY 2024-2025) and $353,303 (FY 2025-2026), which support coordinating statewide victim services, collaborating with stakeholders, providing training and technical assistance to member organizations, and developing public education campaigns. From the Administration on Children Youth and Families, the Coalition has received Statewide Domestic Violence Coalition grants (SDVC-2022, SDVC-2023, SDVC-2024, SDVC-2025) supporting similar coordination and victim services activities. Additionally, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control has funded Project Grants focused on sexual violence prevention, capacity building, and health equity assessments, including a $270,782 award for implementing state and community-level prevention strategies across crisis centers. Through sub-grant awards from the New Hampshire Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, the Coalition has distributed funding to support direct victim services—including crisis hotlines, shelter, housing, and sexual assault support services—administered the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) program, provided statewide training to law enforcement and other professionals, and funded domestic and sexual violence prevention programming. The Coalition has also served as a fiscal and administrative intermediary for AmeriCorps programs through Volunteer NH, deploying AmeriCorps members to provide direct assistance to victims while improving financial literacy and community awareness initiatives focused on addressing economic abuse.
