National Network To End Domestic Violence
History
In 1990, a small working group of state domestic violence coalitions and advocates, known as the Domestic Violence Coalition on Public Policy (DVCOPP), came together to fill the information and expertise gap in the early discussion of federal public policy related to domestic violence.

DVCOPP grew into a wide alliance of shelter programs, statewide advocacy groups and coalitions from across the country. In 1994, DVCOPP spearheaded the landmark Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). In 1995, DVCOPP incorporated as the National Network to End Domestic Violence, a 501(c)(4) organization that serves as the leading voice for domestic violence issues in Congress, the Executive Branch and the Federal Courts.

NNEDV’s 501(c)(3) sister organization, NNEDV Fund, was established in 1995 in order to provide training and technical assistance to state domestic violence coalitions and further public awareness of domestic violence issues.

What We Do

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.
