The Prince George’s County Council, in an initiative combatting domestic violence and related abuse in the County, has announced a list of ten nonprofit recipients of the Council’s FY 2022 Domestic Violence Grant Awards.
The Council appropriated $500,000 in FY 2022, for its sixth consecutive round of grant funding to support prevention activities and programs serving the Housing, Workforce Development, Counseling/Mental Health Services, or Advocacy/Legal Services needs of County residents who are victims of domestic violence and other forms of related abuse.

“Nonprofits provide critical service support to survivors of domestic violence and their families, and to victims of related abuse in Prince George’s County. Through its Domestic Violence Grant Program supporting this work, the Council continues to work with nonprofits to strengthen communities, support survivors and their families, and build capacity for organizations assisting residents and their families. The Council’s continued grant support ensures that nonprofits in the County can help survivors live safely and free from the threat of domestic violence.”
