Family Violence Prevention Fund

Mission

The Family Violence Prevention Fund works to prevent violence within the home, and in the community, to help those whose lives are devastated by violence because everyone has the right to live free of violence.

What We Do

For more than three decades, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) has worked to end violence against women and children around the world. Instrumental in developing the landmark Violence Against Women Act passed by Congress in 1994, the FVPF has continued to break new ground by reaching new audiences including men and youth, promoting leadership within communities to ensure that violence prevention efforts become self-sustaining, and transforming the way health care providers, police, judges, employers and others address violence.

CAMPAIGNS

The Family Violence Prevention Fund partners with communities and organizations around the world to find new ways to prevent violence in our homes and society and to help survivors of domestic violence.

Here are some campaigns that we invite you to join to help make our world safer for women, children, and their families.
