The California Peace Prize: Goals and Process

TCWF established its annual California Peace Prize in 1993 to publicly recognize and reward the outstanding efforts of three individuals who had effectively helped to prevent violence and promote peace in their communities.

Initiated as part of the VPI’s Leadership Development Program, which concluded in 2002, the California Peace Prize has continued past the life of the Initiative as a leadership recognition program under the Foundation’s violence prevention grantmaking. Each honoree receives a cash award of $25,000.
