The Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RICADV) is currently accepting proposals for Domestic Violence Prevention Fund Community Micro-grants!
Donor Name: Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RICADV)
State: Rhode Island
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 11/01/2022
Grant Size: $1,000 to $15,000
Details:
The purpose of the DVPF is to increase the number of schools, community groups and community-based organizations that are engaged in a public health approach to preventing IPV.
DVPF projects can, for example, support RI schools to align with the state’s comprehensive teen dating violence education law, the Lindsay Ann Burke Act through school climate and systems change strategies, such as:
- Policy implementation
- Staff training
- Media campaigns
- Community organizing with parent organizations, athletic programs and district-level health and wellness committees
While domestic violence and dating abuse can happen to anyone, the burden of this violence is not shared equally among groups. Women of color, people who are LGBTQ, people with disabilities and youth bear a disproportionate impact.
The goal of the DVPF is to address such disparities in Rhode Island by supporting prevention strategies that prioritize and center communities most impacted by IPV. The DVPF Advisory Committee gives priority to proposals that focus on engaging and affirming youth of color; LGBTQ, Two-Spirit, and Gender Nonconforming youth; and youth with disabilities in IPV prevention efforts and activities.
Funding Information
A total of $88,000 will be distributed to support one-time Community Micro-grants ranging from $1,000to $15,000.
