Silent No Longer Tennessee

What Silent No Longer Tennessee does

Silent No Longer Tennessee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 315 Tampa Drive, Nashville, TN, founded in 2018 by Greta McClain, a two-time adult survivor of sexual assault and former 12-year Nashville police officer. The organization delivers trauma-informed advocacy, education, and creative-arts programs for survivors of gender-based violence across Tennessee, organized into five core services: Training Workshops and custom Curriculum Design (covering dynamics of sexual violence, racial bias, LGBTQ+ impacts, sexual harassment, and bystander intervention), the Shadows Ignited creative-expression flagship program (bundling Awakened Verse poetry/writing, Healing Narrative monologues/plays, Visual Artistry, H.E.A.L. photography/film, and Melody and Movement songwriting/dance), Community Outreach and Awareness Events, a Speakers Bureau, and a Sexual Violence Resource Center curating Tennessee hotlines plus a webinars/brochures library sourced from national partners (EVAWI, NSVRC, CALCASA, PCAR, RAINN).

The customer base spans individual survivors (primary persona segment), law enforcement agencies, employers and organizations, schools and universities, faith communities and congregations, and community organizations. 2025 service statistics report 3,173 people assisted, 157 active advocacy clients, 1,070 individuals reached through community outreach, 68,461 unique social-media visitors, 1,082 special-event attendees/viewers, 272 service referrals, 28 technical-assistance requests fulfilled, and 564 resources provided.

Revenue mechanics are entirely donation- and sponsorship-driven: one-time and recurring individual donations (including Amazon Wish List and RoundUp app), tiered annual memberships/sponsorships (Sustaining Partner $200, Hero Partner $500, Sponsoring Partner $1,000, with 2025 promo codes SUSTAIN2025, HERO2025, SPONSOR2025), and event sponsorships for Shadows Ignited performances. Distribution is grassroots and direct: regional training delivery, community events, a speakers bureau, and a referral channel partner network spanning 20+ Tennessee sexual assault centers across West, Middle, and East Tennessee plus national hotlines (RAINN, Suicide Prevention Lifeline). The organization operates with a small 1-10 employee team supplemented by a Board of Directors including former law enforcement executives, PFLAG and AARP advocacy leaders, academic specialists, and arts practitioners; an H.E.A.L. Documentary is currently in post-production as an additional media asset.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC): Federally designated resource center providing curriculum, webinars, and prevention resources. Direct curriculum partner of Silent No Longer Tennessee; comparable in training/curriculum content but operates at national scale rather than regional direct-service.
• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): National operator of the largest sexual assault hotline in the U.S. and a primary resource referral partner for Silent No Longer Tennessee. Comparability: both organizations provide survivor advocacy resources, training, and referrals; RAINN is the macro benchmark while Silent No Longer Tennessee operates a regional, trauma-informed variant.
• Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR): State-level coalition delivering sexual violence prevention education and training curricula. Curriculum partner listed by Silent No Longer Tennessee; comparable in producing trauma-informed training content for organizations but operating at the multistate scale.
• California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA): State-level coalition providing prevention education resources and bystander-intervention training. Curriculum partner referenced by Silent No Longer Tennessee; comparable training content with statewide rather than state-focus delivery.

Direct peers

• Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence: Statewide coalition providing training, policy advocacy, and member-center support across Tennessee. Direct comparison: both operate in Tennessee on sexual violence prevention and survivor services; the founder previously worked as Victims of Crime Coordinator there, establishing deep programmatic overlap.
• End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI): National organization training law enforcement on trauma-informed interviewing and gender-bias reduction. Listed curriculum partner; both specialize in law enforcement audience training on sexual violence response.
• YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee: Regional YWCA delivering domestic violence and sexual assault services, including the YW Domestic Violence Center where the founder previously worked. Closely comparable service mix (crisis response, advocacy, education) within the same Tennessee geography.
• Center for Sexual Assault Survivors (TN): West Tennessee crisis and advocacy provider for sexual assault survivors serving a comparable population within the same state. Direct comparator for Tennessee-based survivor advocacy and referral services.
• Sexual Assault Center (Middle Tennessee): Middle Tennessee's primary sexual assault service provider offering therapy, advocacy, and crisis response. Listed as a partner referral organization; both deliver survivor advocacy and training across the same Middle Tennessee geography.

Emerging players

• Joyful Heart Foundation: National nonprofit using storytelling, media, and creative expression to support sexual violence survivors and reform systems. Closest analog to Silent No Longer Tennessee's creative-expression differentiation (Shadows Ignited, H.E.A.L. documentary) but operating at national rather than regional scale.
