NOMAS

What NOMAS does

NOMAS (National Organization for Men Against Sexism) is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit educational organization founded in 1983 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with its primary annual programming activity centered in Philadelphia. The organization operates from a pro-feminist, anti-racist, anti-classist, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective, advocating for positive changes in how society addresses masculinity and opposing patriarchal norms. Its mission focuses on ending men's violence against women, addressing reproductive coercion, supporting protective mothers in custody disputes, and educating the public on gender-justice issues.

NOMAS offers a defined portfolio of programmatic products rather than technology products. Core offerings include the NOMAS Model for DV Offender Programs (a recommended standard for batterer intervention grounded in feminist political analysis), Child Custody advocacy resources, a Reproductive Coercion Toolkit co-developed with the Feminist Women's Health Center of Atlanta and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Commercial Sex Industry position materials, formal Position Statements across its issue areas, and the Ending Men's Violence Network. It also runs a Chapter Program for local organizing, a Partner Program for aligned organizations, and an annual Men & Masculinity Conference — the 51st edition is scheduled for August 1–2, 2026 in Philadelphia.

The organization's business model is contribution-based: revenue is generated entirely through donations (one-time and ongoing) solicited via its support page, with no commercial product sales, paid licensing, or fee-for-service programs. Distribution is primarily digital (nomas.org, social channels, newsletter) supplemented by the annual in-person conference. The organization is governed by a Council of volunteers, has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds, grants, or external institutional investment. Its served 'customer' base is comprised of domestic violence advocates, anti-violence organizations, healthcare/reproductive health providers, judicial and legal professionals, protective mothers, and individual activists aligned with the pro-feminist men's movement.
