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 will develop individual leadership skills, stronger organizations, and networking and expanded knowledge-sharing opportunities across California’s domestic violence field.  

Who’s Behind the Project?

Blue Shield of California Foundation (BSCF) is the largest private funder of domestic violence organizations in California, investing $29 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 $7 million to support three Strong Field Project components:

o   Strong leadership

o   Strong organizations

o   Strong networks

Who’s Advising the Project?

The California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV) serves as a key strategic advisor to the Foundation on the Project. In addition to CPEDV, an advisory group of ten domestic violence leaders ensures that the project is responsive to the field's most pressing needs.

Strong Networks

In collaboration with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV), Jemmott Rollins Group (JRG) will help strengthen the networks that connect California's 100-plus domestic violence organizations
