Deadline- December 21, 2012
Countries/Region- U.S
The Mary Byron Project seeking nominations for The Roth Award for Underserved Populations, which provide services to those who are identified as such based on characteristics that include age, race, ethnicity, gender, faith, disabilities, low socio-economic status, non-English speaking, sexual preference, and surprisingly, victims from economically-comfortable suburban areas who traditionally do not know how to avail themselves of services or who are too ashamed to find them. In general, there is a lack of resources for these specific populations, or the individuals have difficulty accessing available resources.
One award will be presented annually, in addition to the other four Celebrating Solutions Awards. Institutions that have applied in previous years are welcome to do so again. Eligible programs may be nominated for both the Celebrating Solutions and the Roth Awards, but would only receive one $10,000 grant.
Eligibility criteria-
- The program’s primary focus must address the issue of intimate partner violence.
- The nominated program, the institution and the core components of the program being nominate must have been operating for a minimum of three (3) years (established no later than September 2009 for the 11-12 award year.) The program must be in existence when the nomination is made.
- The program must be part of a non-profit 501(c) (3) or government agency.
- The program should be replicable, or if it is national in scope, the program should have applications for individual communities, regardless of their size or ethnic population.
Non-eligible terms are as follows-
- Past Roth Award winners.
- Organizations other than non-profit or governmental.
- Organizations operating outside the United States or a U.S. territory.
- Individuals.
- Basic research.
