Everytown Domestic Violence Grant Program
About the Program
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, local and state domestic violence programs have been on the frontlines of dual public health crises. Supporting their work is essential to preventing domestic violence and supporting survivors. Through Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund’s Domestic Violence Grant Program, organizations across the country have accessed funding. These grants supported activities related to addressing the intersection of domestic violence and gun violence. Past grantees used the funding from Everytown to support operational costs, capacity-building training opportunities, salaries for staff and contractors, and more.
Support for those in Crisis
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), texting “START” to 88788, or chatting online at thehotline.org. Trained advocates are available 24/7 to provide free confidential support to people anywhere in the US.
You can also find more resources on legal assistance in English and Spanish at WomensLaw.org. For additional resources on the emotional, medical, financial, and legal consequences of gun violence for individuals and communities, please visit Everytown’s Resources page.

How Our Grantee Partners Used the Grants
Apna Ghar: Chicago, IL
“We’ve created a report on the intersection of gun violence and domestic violence in Asian American Pacific Islande (AAPI) communities, and we have hosted workshops, trainings, and discussions on the topic to elevate the issue and create collaborative responses.”
Delaware Tribe of Indians: Bartlesville, KS
“We are using the grant for a total overhaul of our website. We want to provide information to victims and to the community about domestic violence. We also want the webpage to be an initial contact point for victims who aren’t quite ready to call us or stop by our office.”
Voices Against Violence: Charles Town, WV
“Voices Against Violence will provide educational presentations to various groups in the community to prevent violence, and provide support to those who have suffered from it. Our region has a large Latinx population, and special emphasis is placed on ensuring greater access to services for this underserved community.”
