THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS AND EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND SOCIAL ACTION, END ABUSE WORKS TO PREVENT AND ELIMINATE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

END ABUSE IS THE ONLY STATEWIDE COALITION LED BY SOCIAL POLICY ADVOCATES, ATTORNEYS AND EXPERTS WORKING TO SUPPORT, CONNECT, EQUIP, EMPOWER AND LEAD ORGANIZATIONS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE TO END DOMESTIC ABUSE.

INITIAL FUNDING WAS FOR $2 MILLION TO BE SPENT OVER FOR 18 MONTHS AND GOING FORWARD WILL BE $1 MILLION PER YEAR.
