To transform Connecticut's response to domestic violence by supporting survivors, advancing policy and prevention, and coordinating members and services across the state.
Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence Inc channels nearly all of its recent grantmaking through pass-through awards to domestic violence service providers across Connecticut. The largest recent grant in the data went to Domestic Violence Crisis Center in Norwalk for $1,633,368 in 2024, while Interval House in Hartford received $1,521,056 the same year. Those awards sit within a statewide network of shelters, advocacy groups, and crisis programs that the foundation supports to strengthen survivor services and coordination. The pattern is not limited to one organization or one year. Domestic Violence Crisis Center also appears in Stamford in 2023, and several other providers recur across 2023 and 2024, including Domestic Violence Prog United Svcs in Dayville, The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence, Safe Futures, The Center for Family Justice, Prudence Crandall Center Inc, The Network, and New Horizons. The foundation’s stated purpose is to transform Connecticut’s response to domestic violence by supporting survivors, advancing policy and prevention, and coordinating members and services across the state.
Domestic violence services are the clearest center of the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $1,334,087 to The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence in Ansonia in 2024 and another $555,510 to the same organization in North Haven that year, indicating support for service delivery in more than one site. Survivor support also shows up in awards to shelter and crisis providers such as Safe Haven Grt Waterbury, which received $1,229,747 in 2024, and Chrysalis Domestic Violence Svcs in Meriden, which received $658,161 in 2024. The foundation also funds regional access points like The Network in Enfield and New Horizons in Middletown, reflecting a coordinated statewide service structure. Its stated focus areas further include advocacy and public policy, education and prevention, and training and capacity building.
The typical award is large: the grant-size distribution runs from a p25 of $73,822 to a median of $738,684 and a p75 of $1,157,314. The grants shown are predominantly one-time pass-through disbursements rather than individual gifts or program-related investments. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Interval House, Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Domestic Violence Prog United Svcs, Safe Futures, The Center for Family Justice, Prudence Crandall Center Inc, The Network, and New Horizons, which points to ongoing support for a stable set of domestic violence providers. The foundation’s grantmaking is local and entirely in Connecticut.
