FVAP is working to end domestic violence by providing access to justice to survivors.
For 12 years, we have been providing real and meaningful access to justice to survivors. We provide free legal information and expert representation to those navigating the complex appeals process. We are the first and only non-profit dedicated solely to overturning dangerous trial court decisions on behalf of survivors of domestic violence and their children.
We partner with volunteers to magnify the impact of your gifts. Every $1.00 donated translates to $1.50 in resources and services for survivors.
Family Violence Appellate Project exists to keep survivors and their children safe. We harness the power of the legal system by reversing court decisions that are dangerous for survivors or their children – and breaking the cycle of violence.
Our vision is to break the cycle of violence so everyone will live in a safe and healthy home. We will become a nation free of domestic abuse.
