The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded the Maine Coalition To End Domestic Violence $110,090 under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556) for the period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This formula grant supports the coalition's core mission to coordinate statewide victim services activities and facilitate collaboration among federal, state, territory, and local entities engaged in violence against women initiatives. As Maine's designated state domestic violence and sexual assault coalition, the organization uses these funds to advance comprehensive responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking across the state.

Under this award, the Maine Coalition To End Domestic Violence delivers coordination services, training and technical assistance to member organizations, develops culturally appropriate service standards, implements public education campaigns, and facilitates multi-agency coordination efforts. The coalition's activities leverage its established partnerships with the Maine Judicial Branch, law enforcement, medical providers, and community-based organizations to strengthen the state's response to gender-based violence and enhance victim services delivery throughout Maine.
