Overview

Mission

To lead collaborative community and systemic responses to domestic violence by providing public awareness, training, advocacy, policy development, technical assistance and supportive services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rape prevention and education (rpe) funding comes to njcedv through the New Jersey department of children and families- division on women, and supports efforts to engage men and boys, and develop male leaders in gender-based violence prevention throughout New Jersey. Njcedv provides training and ongoing technical assistance to male leaders, community partners and coaches who serve as community liaisons providing education and support to men and boys in their communities. During fy25, njcedv completed production of a documentary highlighting the experiences and work of the community liaisons which will be used to further educate and engage men and boys as part of our work to prevent domestic and dating violence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 95% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
