No Private Matter! Ending Abuse in Intimate and Family Relations

This competition is the first in a series of Changemakers Collaborative Competitions in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). RWJF's intention for this competition is to find innovative solutions and to catalyse a community of changemakers to help eliminate intimate partner violence in the United States.

Your organisation can enter the competition by documenting your innovative activities and solutions on the Changemakers site where it will be posted, judged by leading philanthropists, reviewed by peers, and voted on by a community of changemakers.

The panel of judges will choose 12 finalists who will attend a Change Summit on violence prevention. The Changemakers community will select three overall competition winners who will each receive US$5,000. After the winners are announced, Changemakers will continue to host and connect a global community of innovators, investors, and supporters committed to ending abuse.
