LOUISVILLE, Ky. The West End Opportunity Partnership is closer to its $30 million fundraising goal after receiving a grant from the James Graham Brown Foundation.
The Foundation committed a $2.5 million leadership grant to the partnership that was created to grow businesses in West Louisville, improve infrastructure, and help people with housing security.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, died in a botched police raid on her apartment in March 2020, when police shot her several times.
A subsequent investigation by the Louisville Courier Journal found that no-knock search warrants are disproportionately executed against Black Americans and Americans of color.
Despite growing cries to ban the practice outright, as is stipulated in the eponymous Breonna’s Law following her death, Beshear’s legislation bans no-knock warrants on drug cases.
“I cannot know the depths of pain caused by systematic racism, but in my administration we are committed to listening and continuing to act,” Beshear said at the signing. “I am signing Senate Bill 4 to help ensure no other mother knows Tamika Palmer’s grief at the loss of her daughter Breonna Taylor. This is meaningful change and it will save lives.”
