Our Story

Our Mission

The NO MORE Foundation is dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault by increasing awareness, inspiring action, and fueling culture change.

NO MORE is a groundbreaking, global initiative comprised of the largest coalition of nonprofits, corporations, government agencies, media, schools and individuals addressing domestic violence and sexual assault. We are committed to engaging, reaching, and working with people from diverse communities.

We work to amplify and grow the movement to stop and prevent domestic violence and
sexual assault, in homes, schools, workplaces and communities around the world by creating and supporting innovative campaigns, partnerships and tools that leverage the power of the media, entertainment, sports, technology, and collective action.

With more than 1,400 allied organizations and over 40 state, local, and international chapters, NO MORE sparks grassroots activism, encouraging everyone—women and men, youth and adults, from all walks of life—to be part of the solution. 

Our History

First launched in 2013, NO MORE was created as a unifying symbol—much like breast cancer awareness pink ribbon or the HIV/AIDS awareness red ribbon—in order to help increase the visibility of the problems of domestic violence and sexual assault, which, despite significant progress, too often remained hidden, misunderstood, and woefully underfunded.

NO MORE has grown to become the largest and most successful domestic violence and sexual assault awareness/engagement initiative in history and is now its own 501(c)(3) public charity.

Our Approach

The NO MORE symbol is not owned by any one organization. Rather, it belongs to and is available for use by all those committed to help end domestic violence and sexual assault. Tools to use the symbol are available completely free of charge and can be found in the NO MORE Toolkit.

Our Results

In just a few years, NO MORE has become largest and most successful public awareness campaign on domestic violence and sexual assault in history. Nearly 1,200 organizations and 75,000 individuals have joined NO MORE. Hundreds of schools created NO MORE groups, and another 30 local city-wide, state-wide and international NO MORE programs have been born. Thanks to our partners, our PSAs have gotten more than 4.4 billion impressions.

Our Team

The coalition organization operates under the guidance of a volunteer Executive Board and a Steering Committee, which includes representatives from leading anti-violence nonprofits. Day-to-day, NO MORE is overseen by a small, but dedicated team.
