About Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence Inc centers its grantmaking on domestic violence intervention services, survivor support, and the local network of organizations that serve people affected by abuse across Louisiana. In 2025, its largest listed awards went to Wellspring in Monroe, Faith House Inc in Lafayette, and Project Celebration in Many, each receiving more than $780,000 for direct support to domestic violence intervention providers through subcontracts. That pattern shows a funder working through member programs and regional providers rather than funding individuals directly. The foundation also backs services that help survivors stabilize after crisis. Recent grants include a separate award to Family Violence Program of St Bernard in Arabie for financial empowerment services for the homeless, along with support for housing and childcare assistance, shelter continuity, and emergency disaster response. Across the recent grant list, recipient organizations appear in cities and towns across Louisiana, from Baton Rouge and New Orleans to Houma, Lake Charles, Ruston, and Monroe. The foundation’s work aligns with its stated purpose of eliminating domestic violence through public education, systems change, social change, and public policy, while strengthening comprehensive services for member programs and other people affected by domestic violence.
