Our Story
Fight Against Domestic Violence launched in February 2017. It was started by generous individuals who believed they could make an impact in this space. It's founding members realized that the direct selling/network marketing industries could make a large impact around issues of domestic violence because of their team-oriented structures and passionate sellers. FADV believes that domestic violence is a public health issue that affects every sector of society. It is as pervasive as any other epidemic and just as costly. It continues to persist because of a shame and stigma associated around issues of private family violence. FADV is dedicated to increasing awareness and shedding light on issues of family violence. Each educated voice becomes an additional wave in an ocean of cultural change.
People Making an Impact
FADV works with corporate partners to bring more awareness and financial resources to the domestic violence prevent space. For instance, through Jamberry/M.Global, FADV has implemented a “Mani-Mixer” program that takes Jamberry’s products and the expertise of its sales representatives and employees and matches those with the needs of domestic violence organizations. With FADV’s relationships and coordination with over 300 domestic violence organizations, Jamberry employees and sales representatives can conduct 90-minute manicure events, what we call Mani Mixers, for domestic violence survivors and their children.

Who We Serve
Domestic Violence Service Providers
FADV exists to bring new financial and other resources to Domestic Violence Service Providers who are doing everything they can to serve survivors. We know that these organizations work tirelessly to serve those in crisis while at the same time constantly soliciting financial support to keep their life-saving work going. We are here to help!
Financial & Product Grants
Twice a year FADV administers financial grants from funds raised during our on-going fundraising campaigns. These campaigns operate to keep money local. All funds raised during our campaigns are allocated to the FADV financial grant pool to be distributed within the state from which the funds are raised. Funds raised in Ohio stay in Ohio to ensure the distance between donor and recipient is as close as possible.
In addition to financial grants, FADV in coordination with its generous corporate partners provides in-kind product donations to benefit the survivors served by the recipient organizations. During Spring 2017 over 200 domestic violence organizations received large boxes of Jamberry beauty products, nail polishes, and nail wraps that were used by the receiving organization in the ways they saw best.
