Overview

Nexus Rising Foundation is a nonprofit organization currently in formation in the State of Washington. The Foundation is being established to address a critical and often overlooked gap in domestic violence services: resources, advocacy, and shelter options for men who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse.

Men experiencing domestic violence frequently face barriers to recognition, support, and safe housing. Nexus Rising Foundation exists to confront those gaps by developing structured, trauma-informed programs designed to promote safety, stability, dignity, and long-term independence for male survivors.

Our Mission

To provide resources, advocacy, transitional housing, and shelter solutions for men impacted by domestic violence and related crises, ensuring access to safety, support, and pathways toward recovery and self-sufficiency.

Our Vision

We envision a society where men experiencing domestic violence are recognized, supported, and provided with meaningful access to shelter, resources, and recovery—without stigma, dismissal, or exclusion.
