Elevation Grants Program News Today

Some local organizations received more money to help them address the root causes of violence after a fourth round of funding through the Elevation Grants was announced this week.

Annual grant opportunities for community groups that work in violence reduction efforts are open. The amount of the money distributed by the Office of Public Health and Safety that aims to address the root causes of violence is unchanged this year.

The Elevation Grants provide more than $4.3 million to 31 programs at local organizations that address root causes of violence. These programs focus on youth empowerment, improved mental health and neighborhood safety.

More money than ever is available to local grassroots groups working on violence reduction efforts in Indianapolis, after an infusion of federal relief money.
