Overview

Mission

Nccadv leads the state's movement to end domestic violence and to enhance work with survivors through collaborations, innovative trainings, prevention, technical assistance, state policy development and legal advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Nccadv's programs help meet a most basic human need safety. Domestic violence is widespread and deeply damages those it touches. Staggering numbers of people (1 in 3 women; 1 in 4 men) will be victims in their lifetimes. This agency works to interrupt the cycle of violence, end the stigma attached to a difficult and taboo subject, and free individuals to pursue physical and emotional health. To achieve deep impact, nccadv assists local programs to meet all survivors where they are and works to create a North Carolina where everyone can live free from the threat of abuse.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 91% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
