Empowering Domestic and Sexual Violence Organizations

With Dedicated Support and Streamlined Solutions


Our History

Vela was developed in collaboration with the Missouri Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence and a diverse focus group of domestic violence and sexual assault agencies. Our objective was to create a software solution that seamlessly integrates into the workflow of domestic violence and sexual assault programs.

We prioritize the confidentiality of survivors while offering streamlined services, activity tracking, timesheets, cross-staff communication, and the ability to generate major funder reports like VOCA, HUD, STOP VAWA, SASP, FVPSA, and more with just one click.

However, Vela is more than just a software solution. Our support team, with over 100 years of combined advocacy experience, provides dedicated and knowledgable support to ensure our clients’ success. Vela was developed to enhance organizational capacity and empower advocates to provide better care, while strictly maintaining survivor confidentiality.

We are a small part of a broader community of advocates committed to ending domestic violence and sexual assault. We consider ourselves privileged to be part of this movement towards a safer world, and we are committed to using our skills and resources to support and partner with domestic and sexual violence programs.
