DVIS

What DVIS does

DVIS (Domestic Violence Intervention Services) is a U.S. 501(c)-style non-profit organization headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, founded in 1976. It provides a multi-disciplinary service platform for survivors of domestic violence, including counseling, safe housing, legal advocacy, education programs, and community outreach. With a current headcount of 101-250 employees, DVIS operates at a scale consistent with mid-sized regional crisis-services providers, maintaining both physical safe-housing operations and program staff for direct service delivery.

The organization's service portfolio addresses acute shelter needs, ongoing therapeutic support, legal navigation for survivors, preventive education, and broader community awareness — a vertically integrated model within the domestic violence intervention vertical. As a non-profit, DVIS does not generate revenue in a commercial sense; its funding base, while not disclosed in available source data, would typically draw from a mix of government grants, foundation funding, individual donations, and contracted service agreements typical of U.S. domestic violence service providers.

The current CEO is Tracey Redmon Lyall. Beyond leadership, the available source material is notably thin — the company website and supporting data sources contained limited substantive content, with several records returning loading/verification placeholders rather than operational detail. Consequently, no specific information about partnerships, certifications, financial scale, funding history, or technology infrastructure could be verified from the inputs. This data gap should temper any conclusion drawn about DVIS's operational footprint beyond the basic service description.

Broad incumbents

• National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV): National membership and policy umbrella for the DV field; comparable in that it serves the same survivor population, but it functions as a capacity-builder and federal-policy advocate for local programs like DVIS rather than a direct service provider.

Direct peers

• National Domestic Violence Hotline: National crisis intervention, safety planning, and resource/referral service for domestic violence victims — same survivor population and partially overlapping service set as DVIS.
• Safe Horizon: New York-based nonprofit providing domestic violence shelters, hotlines, counseling, and legal services — directly comparable integrated DV service model, though at larger urban scale.
• Family Violence Prevention Services: San Antonio-based nonprofit operating a DV shelter, counseling, and children's programs — closely comparable regional DV service organization with a similar service mix to DVIS.
• YWCA USA: National nonprofit operating local affiliates that deliver domestic violence shelters, counseling, and advocacy — directly comparable service mix to DVIS, with the addition of broader women's empowerment programming.
• Sojourner Family Peace Center: Milwaukee-based nonprofit providing DV shelter, legal advocacy, and counseling under a co-located, integrated service model — directly comparable to DVIS in service scope and family-focused programming.

Emerging players

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): Operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline and supports local centers; partially overlapping with DVIS because it serves the same broader gender-based violence survivor population, though with a sexual-assault primary focus.
• DomesticShelters.org: Online directory and resource platform connecting DV survivors to local programs; comparable because it competes for the same donor and survivor mindshare that DVIS depends on, though delivered through a digital rather than in-person service model.
