State and Territorial Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Coalitions Program

The State and Territorial Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Coalitions Program provides grants to each state and territorial domestic violence coalition and sexual assault coalition. Funds are for the purposes of coordinating victim services activities and collaborating and coordinating with federal, state, and local entities engaged in addressing violence against women.

Statewide sexual assault coalitions provide direct support to member rape and crisis centers through funding, training and technical assistance, public awareness activities, and public policy advocacy. Statewide domestic violence coalitions provide comparable support to member battered women’s shelters and other domestic violence service providers.

In 2025, OVW gave out 84 awards totaling $18.84 million.
