What Mujer does

MUJER (M.U.J.E.R. Inc., formally 'Mujeres Unidas en Justicia, Educación, y Reforma') is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization headquartered in Naranja, Florida, with additional sites in Homestead and Florida City. Founded in 1993-1995 by 18 Hispanic women and operational since July 1997, MUJER operates a One-Stop Domestic Violence and Certified Sexual Assault Center serving victims and survivors primarily in South Miami-Dade County. Its services include 24/7 crisis helpline, on-scene hospital advocacy response (Homestead Hospital and Jackson Memorial Hospital), individual and family therapy, support groups for adults and children, safety planning, legal advocacy, emergency financial assistance, immigration services, and community outreach. The organization reports serving more than 600 families and 10,000+ individuals annually.

MUJER is one of only two State-certified Rape Crisis Centers in Miami-Dade County and co-locates Dade Legal Aid and VIDA Legal Assistance at its One-Stop Center to deliver integrated legal, immigration, and clinical services. It coordinates the Safe Families Partnership Network of 15+ partner agencies and operates specialized programs including the Children's Ocean Reef Project, the J.D.I. Project for incarcerated survivors, and the FIU/Crusada Immigrant Outreach Project. The organization is led by founder and Executive Director Susan J. Rubio Rivera, who has run MUJER since its founding.

The business model is a donation- and grant-funded nonprofit: services are provided free of charge to clients, and MUJER must raise approximately $1 million annually to operate. Revenue streams include foundation and corporate grants (Foxwynd Foundation, Ocean Reef Community Foundation, Health Foundation of South Florida), government contracts and grants (Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, Office of Violence Against Women, Miami-Dade County), individual donations, sponsorship tiers ranging from Supporter ($1,500) to Patron ($5,000), and annual fundraising events. Notable capital events include a 2004 Robert Wood Johnson Health Leadership Award of $100,000 and a 2024 McKenzie Scott Yield Giving Open Call award of $1 million. The organization has no proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or digital product surface; service delivery is human-led and community-based.
