A project of Blue Shield of California Foundation, in collaboration with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services, Jemmott Rollins Group, and Women’s Foundation of California.

What is the Project?


The Strong Field Project is a four-year effort, started in 2010, aimed at building a strong, coordinated network of domestic violence service providers in California. The Project develops individual leadership skills, stronger organizations, and expanded networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities that strengthen the entire field.

Who’s Behind the Project?


Blue Shield of California Foundation (BSCF) is the largest private funder of domestic violence organizations in California, investing $33 million since 2002. BSCF’s grants for core support have helped keep doors and phone lines open at the 100-plus service providers that make up our domestic violence safety net.

 

To build on its history of training and core support, the Foundation is committing more than $7 million to support three Strong Field Project components:

 

o   Strong leadership

o   Strong organizations

o   Strong networks
