About Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence centers its grantmaking on victim services and domestic violence prevention across Rhode Island, with member agencies receiving repeat support in consecutive years. The largest recent award in the file was $1,247,065 to Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center in Pawtucket for services to victims of domestic violence, followed by $1,016,245 to the same organization in 2023. That pattern is echoed elsewhere: Women's Resource Center of Newport and Bristol Counties received $877,202 in 2024 and $850,410 in 2023, showing a sustained funding relationship rather than isolated support. The coalition’s portfolio is built around direct service for survivors and families affected by domestic violence. Recent grants also reach organizations in Newport, Warwick, Wakefield, Providence, and Central Falls, along with smaller awards to agencies serving immigrant and refugee communities. Across the file, the grant descriptions stay consistent: provide services to victims of domestic violence. That consistency points to a funder focused on sustaining the service network that survivors rely on, while also supporting prevention infrastructure through its active grant programs.
What Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence Funds
Direct service is the clearest thread in the coalition’s recent giving. It awarded $503,707 to Elizabth Buffum Chace Center in Warwick and $451,256 to Domestic Violence Resource Center of South County in Wakefield, both for services to victims of domestic violence. In Providence, Crossroads Rhode Island received $279,019 for the same purpose, showing that shelter, advocacy, and service coordination are part of the portfolio. The coalition also funds organizations serving specific communities. Progreso Latino received $54,000 in 2023 and $51,000 in 2024, while Refugee Dream Center received $15,000 in both 2023 and 2024. It made a $12,500 grant to Conexion Latina in Newport and a $10,000 grant to New Bridges for Haitian Success in Providence. Youth-oriented and community-based work appears as well, including $15,000 to Youth in Action and $14,000 to Young Voices, both in Providence.
How Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence Gives
Grant sizes range from a p25 of $15,000 to a median of $52,500 and a p75 of $373,479, which shows a mix of micro-grants and much larger operating support. The recent grants list also shows repeat support across years: several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2024, including Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center, Women's Resource Center of Newport and Bristol Counties, and Crossroads Rhode Island. The coalition is a regular funder rather than a DAF, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. One active micro-grant program, the Domestic Violence Prevention Fund, does not accept unsolicited applications.
