Program areas at Finding Our Voices

Finding Our Voices is committed to bringing the issue of intimate partner abuse out of the shadows and into the light. In 2021 with seed money from the Sunshine Lady Foundation Finding Our Voices started the "Get Out, Stay Out" fund to assist domestic violence survivors with bills and other expenses to be able to get free and safe, and keep their children and pets safe as well. In 2023, the Get Out, Stay Out Fund assisted 175 Maine individuals and families. We also have a program called Finding Our Smiles providing Maine women and child domestic abuse survivors with access to free, dignified, and gold-standard dental care.
