Overview

Mission

Provide local leadership in the development of a coordinated community response to domestic abuse and family violence.

What it reported doing in 2025

Dvpn serves as the primary convener for central Indiana's domestic violence service providers, bringing organizations together to strengthen collaboration, share information, and address challenges that no single agency can solve alone. Through its directors' network, executive leaders meet regularly to coordinate strategy, discuss emerging trends, identify gaps in services, and advocate for system-level improvements that benefit survivors across the region. Dvpn also facilitates the advocates network, creating a forum for frontline advocates to connect, exchange best practices, build professional skills, and strengthen relationships across agencies. Together, these networks foster a more coordinated, informed, and effective domestic violence response system, ensuring providers work collectively to improve services and outcomes for survivors and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
