Mary Byron Project Invites Entries of Innovative Domestic Violence Programs for Celebrating Solutions Awards
Deadline: November 19, 2010

The Mary Byron Project created the annual Celebrating Solutions Awards program to honor innovative programs that demonstrate promise in breaking the cycle of domestic violence.

MBP typically presents four awards of $10,000 each to pioneering programs that can serve as models for the nation. These are awards for accomplishments, not grants for future projects. Recipients are not required to render any further services as a condition of receiving a Celebrating Solutions Award.

To be eligible for the award, a program must address the issue of domestic violence and be part of a U.S. nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status under the Internal revenue Code or a government agency. Both the nominated program and the institution must have been operating for a minimum of three years. The program should be replicable, or, if it is national in scope, should have applications for individual communities, regardless of their size or ethnic population. Organizations operating outside the United States or a U.S. territory are not eligible.
