We create safe, just, and equitable communities through advocacy, education, and empowerment of anyone affected by domestic and sexual violence, stalking, child abuse, and human trafficking.
New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence directs large, repeated grants to organizations delivering direct services to victims across New Hampshire. The biggest awards in the recent record went to Haven in Portsmouth, Bridges Domestic & Sexual Violence Support in Nashua, and the Crisis Center of Central NH in Concord, all for direct services to victims. That pattern points to a funder centered on the day-to-day support infrastructure for people affected by domestic and sexual violence, stalking, child abuse, and human trafficking. The coalition’s recent giving is not limited to one or two places; it reaches agencies in Portsmouth, Nashua, Concord, Manchester, Keene, Berlin, Plymouth, Conway, Lebanon, Claremont, Laconia, and Durham. Its stated work covers advocacy, education, and empowerment, with emphasis on victim services, crisis intervention, trauma-informed support, shelter and basic needs, and prevention education. The recurring grant language suggests a practical model: support established local providers that are already serving survivors and people in immediate crisis. Across the recent awards, the recipients are all New Hampshire-based. The coalition also funds specialized service providers such as YWCA Crisis Service, Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention, RESPONSE to Sexual and Domestic Violence, and Wise, reinforcing a statewide network rather than a single-program approach.
Victim services are the clearest thread in the coalition’s grantmaking. It awarded $995,830 to Bridges Domestic & Sexual Violence Support in Nashua and $912,051 to Crisis Center of Central NH in Concord for direct services to victims, showing a focus on frontline help for people affected by abuse and assault. The coalition also supports crisis response organizations across the state. It gave $781,648 to Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention in Keene and $758,178 to RESPONSE to Sexual and Domestic Violence in Berlin, both for direct services to victims, alongside other grants in the same category. Its work extends to survivor support and prevention education. YWCA Crisis Service in Manchester received $835,520 for direct services to victims, while Sexual Harassment & Rape Prevention in Durham received $236,381 for direct services to victims. Those awards fit a funder that backs both immediate response and longer-term prevention-oriented services.

Recent grants cluster tightly around a narrow size band: the 25th percentile is $614,088, the median is $689,800, and the 75th percentile is $847,285. The pattern is repetitive rather than episodic: many recipients appear in consecutive years, including Haven, Bridges Domestic & Sexual Violence Support, Crisis Center of Central NH, Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention, RESPONSE to Sexual and Domestic Violence, Voices Against Violence, Starting Point, Turning Points Network, Wise, and New Beginnings. The coalition appears to operate as a program-focused grantmaker rather than an individual-giving or PRI funder.
