What Futures Without Violence does

Mission

To pioneer new strategies to end violence against women and children at home and abroad.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Health - for three decades, the national health resource center on domestic violence (hrc) has supported health care professionals, domestic violence experts, and survivors of domestic violence as they improve health care's response to domestic violence. In 2025, the hrc continued to provide training, technical assistance, and resource development, to build the capacity of health care professionals and domestic violence advocates to safely and effectively respond to the health needs of survivors and families. The hrc offers tools and information to health care professionals and domestic violence/sexual assault (dv/sa) programs to address and prevent the chronic health conditions and injuries associated with exposure to abuse. Hrc resources can be used by health care providers to talk with all patients about healthy and unhealthy relationships, the health effects of violence and abuse, and resources for support. Using these resources and building partnerships with domestic violence advocates, health care providers can help improve health and safety outcomes for survivors. The national health resource center on domestic violence also helps build the capacity of domestic violence…

  2. Children/youth/young families - in 2025, the children's team served as a national resource for translating research, policy, and frontline innovation into practical tools and implementation support that strengthen professional practice, organizational capacity, and systems serving children and families affected by domestic violence. The team provided training, technical assistance, consultation, peer learning opportunities, and information services to professionals across child welfare, domestic violence, health care, education, courts, and other child and family serving systems. National learning activities included four national webinars and 19 cohort learning calls that supported implementation of evidence-informed approaches across diverse settings. Through its digital learning platforms, websites, and email communications, the team reached more than 50,000 email recipients, attracted more than 26,000 new users, generated more than 53,000 page views, and recorded more than 1,400 resource downloads. The resources most frequently accessed by the field addressed children's exposure to violence, trauma-informed practice, protective factors, parenting, healthy relationships,…

  3. The courage museum and education center - an interactive museum located on the main post of the presidio national park in san francisco where visitors explore how violence shapes our lives, and practice the courage needed to build a more connected future. Through storytelling, scientific insights, and cultural analyses, the museum will offer visitors pathways for healing and prevention, challenging the notion that violence is inevitable. The museum and education center will be a place where individuals are inspired and challenged through the stories and experiences of individuals and organizations that are working toward change. In 2025, futures launched generation courage (gen c) which is the museum's youth leadership initiative, placing young people at the center of everything we do - as co-designers, storytellers, and community leaders. Through a range of programs, gen c will engage young people to reimagine systems, promote healing, and lead with purpose. In addition, we continued to develop our professional learning institute for education professionals and hosted a series of high school engagement days for students and teachers to further inform our education programming and…

  4. Public education campaigns & programs - for thirty years since futures launched the very first national domestic violence prevention public service campaign, we have led numerous initiatives to build individuals, families, organizations, and systems' capacity to respond to and prevent violence. Particularly, we created the only evidence-based program, "coaching boys into men," endorsed by the cdc to train coaches to teach their young male athletes healthy relationship skills. Futures also spearheads the "team: changing minds" initiative to help caring and consistent adults better identify, understand, and respond to youth mental health challenges before a crisis occurs. Most recently, "catapult: campus action" is an initiative designed to grow the leadership of young men on college campuses to end violence through care, connection, and accountability. It seeks to challenge harmful norms, foster healthier relationships, and create a safer and more welcoming environment for all. Training, resources, and programs extend to over 200 colleges reaching over 1 million students. Futures' transformative work has been adapted and localized in hundreds of communities in the us and around the…

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 38 funders to 32 funders, grant income fell $2.2M → $2.0M.

29 of 121 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 121 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left

40% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay

42% of FUTURES WITHOUT VIOLENCE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 14 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
