Once considered a private matter, domestic violence is now increasingly recognized as a public problem with vast immediate and long-term physical, emotional, social, economic, and other impacts. Recognizing that quality and safety of our partner relationships are shaped by conditions in our community environments and the actions of multiple sectors, Prevention Institute and Blue Shield of California Foundation will award one-year planning and capacity building grants to five well-established, multisector collaboratives that would like to integrate community-level domestic violence prevention into their work. The grant period will be from November 2018 to October 2019.
The five collaboratives that are selected will receive funding and technical assistance to deepen their shared understanding of community conditions that contribute to domestic violence and those that can promote safe relationships; leverage strengths and broaden engagement of local organizations; and adopt strategies that create community environments conducive to safe relationships and domestic violence prevention. Awardees will also participate in a learning community over the grant period.
