“NNEDV surveyed the 56 state and territorial coalitions against domestic violence to obtain information on funding of local domestic violence programs throughout the United States. The survey revealed that across the country, state and local programs are experiencing substantial cuts in funding from federal, state and local governmental sources. Additionally, the vast majority of states reported that their programs have seen decreases in private donations, one of the lingering effects of the recent economic downturn. Nearly 70% of states reported that domestic violence programs have seen an overall decrease in their total funding in the last fiscal year.”
