The Partnership Awards

• Deadline 11:59 p.m. on Monday, August 3rd
• Awards Ceremony at the Partnership’s Statewide Domestic Violence Conference | November 18, 2026 

Do you know someone who has made an outstanding contribution to California's movement to end domestic violence? Nominate them or yourself for a Partnership Award by September 5th! 

• Planting the Seeds Award: Honoring activism that bears fruit over time—especially intergenerational prevention education that contributes to healthy relationships and communities.
• Courageous Storyteller Award: This award celebrates healing as bravery. All types of healing are courageous, and this award particularly highlights survivors who have publicly told their stories to change narratives about domestic violence.
• Triumph Award: It’s not about where you started, but about the progress you made. This category is for people who have gone from trials to triumph, speaking truth to power and going up against unjust systems.

• Movement Champion Award: The Movement Champion Award category of the Partnership Awards is specific to our organization's work. This is especially focused on individuals who may not work at direct service domestic violence organizations but have still played a vital role in elevating the movement to end domestic violence. Partnership staff will nominate and select the Movement Champion Award winner.
