About MCADSV
Incorporated in 1986, the Montana Coalition Against Domestic &
Sexual Violence (MCADSV) is a statewide coalition of individuals and
organizations working together to end domestic and sexual violence
through advocacy, public education, public policy, and program
development. Our mission is to support and facilitate networking among
our member organizations while advocating for social change in Montana.
Currently, MCADSV represents over 50 programs across Montana that
provide direct services to victims and survivors of domestic and sexual
violence and their children. In addition, our membership includes other
nonprofit and government organizations and individuals (professionals
and members of the general public) who are interested in addressing
domestic and sexual violence in a way that holds offenders accountable
and provides support for the people they victimize. Our membership is
open to anyone who is in accord with our philosophy.
Please contact us if you have questions.
We frequently add new resources, so please check back regularly.
