Mary Byron Foundation Awards to Honor Domestic Violence Solutions Programs

Deadline for Nominations: September 10, 2004

The Mary Byron Foundation seeks nominations for its annual Celebrating Solutions Awards – an award that honors innovative programs that demonstrate promise in breaking the cycle of domestic violence. The awards are for accomplishments, not grants for future projects.

The $10,000 cash award recognizes and honors these efforts to break the cycle of domestic violence. The foundation typically selects four award winners each year.

Eligible programs include those that:

• have been operating for a minimum of three years; have nonprofit 501(c)(3) or governmental status;
• demonstrate positive outcomes; and
• are innovative and replicable.

Individuals are not eligible for these awards.

Any staff member, board member, volunteer, or community supporter may nominate an institution for a Celebrating Solutions Award. Nominations must be received by September 10, 2004.
