FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Finding Our Voices is filling in the gaps across Maine with innovative, survivor-informed, and quick-response programs that educate everyone and empower our sister survivors to get themselves and their children safe and rebuild their lives.

Our Get Out Stay Out Fund provides financial assistance to low-income Maine women for critical items to escape danger from an intimate partner including expenses for shelter, car, legal, home security, utilities, and phones. This is mostly through referral from a caseworker.

We DO NOT find housing or jobs.

If you are a Maine woman escaping intimate partner abuse (including same sex relationship) or within three years of having escaped and need financial help to get safe and/or start to rebuild your life, please click here.

Children's Fund: We provide joy and comfort to youth traumatized by domestic abuse with gifts their moms do not have the money to provide, including art, music and theater camp, driver's ed, grooming shears for an 11-year-old to take care of her pet dog, musical instruments, sports equipment, back to school clothes, birthday parties, and Christmas presents.

Legal help: We can recommend lawyers, and are sometimes connect survivors with low cost and pro-bono legal services. We sometimes are able to help with legal fees.
