Programs We Fund

Partners for Peace serves survivors of domestic violence in Penobscot and Piscataquis counties through a range of services, including its Legal and Justice Services Program. This survivor-centered program offers personalized legal advocacy, focusing on Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders and other civil and criminal matters. A dedicated Legal Advocate guides survivors through the legal process, safety planning, and access to resources, helping reduce risk and build confidence. Last year, the program supported 68 survivors and 61 children in obtaining PFAs, working closely with community partners to overcome barriers and promote safety and resilience—especially in rural areas.
