NJ Coalition To End Domestic Violence

NJ Coalition To End Domestic Violence, doing business as Njcedv, is a woman-owned tax-exempt nonprofit based in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, that operates as New Jersey's designated state domestic violence and sexual assault coalition. The organization functions as a federal grant recipient (98% of awards), not a contractor, receiving formula grants and project grants from the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate statewide victim services, provide legal representation to survivors, support housing access and economic empowerment, and conduct violence prevention at the state and community level.

Njcedv's customer concentration is heavily concentrated within two federal agencies. The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families account for 91% of recent awards combined. Njcedv receives recurring formula-grant funding under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) from DOJ-OVW, which supports coordination of statewide victim services and collaboration with federal, state, and local violence-against-women actors; the organization received $114,533 for the period October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, and $110,090 for October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The organization also holds recurring formula grants from HHS Administration for Children and Families under the Family Violence Prevention and Services program (CFDA 93.591), with a $370,000 award covering October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027.

Beyond recurring formula funding, Njcedv has received project grants for specialized initiatives. The HHS Administration for Children and Families awarded $500,000 on August 31, 2026, under the Social Services Research and Demonstration program (CFDA 93.647) to conduct needs assessment focus groups, host quarterly workshops on economic abuse and survivors' rights, and create a public awareness campaign addressing the intersection of domestic violence, housing, and economic justice. The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control funded a cooperative agreement on March 2, 2023, for the New Jersey DELTA Ahead Violence Prevention Project, a five-year initiative running through March 1, 2028, addressing school climate and safety and economic supports for families through state and community action planning. The Department of Justice Victims of Crime office awarded a $1,000,000 project grant on September 1, 2023, to operate the Legal Representation Project, connecting domestic violence advocates across New Jersey with trauma-informed attorneys to provide legal representation in family law, housing, and appeals matters to marginalized survivors unable to access representation elsewhere.

Activity over the past five years shows two awards in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $17.1 million. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization carries a single federal grant sub-award, dated July 24, 2024, under the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety's STOP Violence Against Women Act program, supporting a Domestic Violence Response Team Coordinator Project to provide immediate intervention to domestic violence victims in police departments.
