Michigan Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence

What Michigan Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence does

Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCEDSV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1978 and headquartered in Okemos, Michigan, with a secondary office in Detroit. It operates as the designated statewide coalition representing 75+ member programs and 100+ allied organizations working to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking across all 83 Michigan counties. The organization delivers a continuum of services including crisis intervention, legal advocacy, professional training, and policy reform.

MCEDSV's core product is the VOICES4 Hotline, a 24/7 statewide crisis line accessible via phone (855-VOICES4), text, online chat (powered by the third-party iCarol messaging platform), and TTY. The hotline served 6,000+ survivors in the past year and is free, confidential, and anonymous. Supporting service lines include the Survivor Law Clinic (free civil legal services for non-intimate partner sexual assault and human trafficking survivors, focused on Metro Detroit), the New Service Provider Training program (hybrid virtual/in-person delivered in partnership with MiVAN), and a training catalog that delivered 85 sessions reaching 3,000+ advocates in the past year. Additional offerings include the Advocate Hour (weekly attorney drop-in), Quarterly Policy Updates, the Monthly Facilitator's Dialogue, the Annual MCEDSV Conference, and published toolkits including a Confidentiality Manual and Human Trafficking Toolkit.

MCEDSV's business model is a hybrid nonprofit revenue structure. Primary funding comes from government grants, specifically Crime Victim Assistance Grant Awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (funded by the Federal Crime Victims Fund under the Victims of Crime Act of 1984); the organization helped secure $30 million in state funding for survivor services in the past year. Secondary revenue streams include individual and organizational donations, and membership dues from voting members, organizational supporting members, and individual supporting members. All survivor-facing services are provided free of charge. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company or private equity ownership.

Core offering

MCEDSV delivers free, confidential survivor support services across Michigan, anchored by the 24/7 VOICES4 Hotline accessible via phone, text, chat, and TTY.

Product overview

Michigan Coalition To End Domestic And Sexual Violence (MCEDSV) operates as a statewide coalition providing a coordinated suite of survivor support services rather than a single product. The core service offering centers on the VOICES4 Hotline—a 24/7 statewide crisis line for domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking available via phone, text, chat, and TTY. This connects to direct service programs including the Survivor Law Clinic providing free civil legal services, and membership programs supporting a network of 70+ member organizations across Michigan. Training and education form a major product pillar, including the New Service Provider Training (hybrid virtual/in-person program), Advocate Hour (weekly legal Q&A), Quarterly Policy Updates, Monthly Facilitator's Dialogue, and the Annual MCEDSV Conference. These training offerings are supplemented by published resources including toolkits and white papers. A searchable Survivor Resources Directory connects individuals to services across all 83 Michigan counties. Together, these products and programs provide a comprehensive ecosystem of crisis response, legal support, professional training, policy advocacy, and survivor resource navigation.
