The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) is a national non-profit based out of San Francisco, CA with offices in Washington D.C. and Boston. The FVPF works to prevent violence within the home, and in the community, to help those whose lives are devastated by violence because everyone has the right to live free of violence. The FVPF, founded in 1980, has been honored for its pioneering work with model policy, advocacy, prevention, education, training and organizing programs that have been replicated in all 50 states and many foreign countries. Among their many programs for women, children, immigrants, and more are their public outreach campaigns that seek to prevent family violence through education and awareness. Recent campaigns include There's No Excuse for Domestic Violence, Coaching Boys into Men, which sought to inspire men to teach boys that violence does not equal strength, and See It and Stop It, an unprecedented multi-media public education campaign by and for teens. The FVPF also serves as an expert resource to lawmakers in the areas of child abuse and domestic violence, sexual assault, the workplace, health, public education, international issues and immigration.
