The Shelby County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Louisville, aims to enrich the quality of life for all citizens of Shelby County by providing a permanent, collective, philanthropic resource aimed at addressing the current and future needs of the Shelby County community.
The Community Safety & Healing Fund focuses on supporting organizations that aim to disrupt the cycle of community violence, with a specific emphasis on serving Black males aged 15-24 who are not currently in school or employed. The fund defines violence intervention as activities that disrupt cycles of violence by focusing on individuals already engaged in behaviors that place them at the greatest risk of being a victim and/or perpetrator of violence. This includes mentorship through a case management model, high-risk intervention to mediate ongoing disputes and prevent retaliatory violence, Safe Passage programs to reduce school violence and improve attendance, and support to survivors of community violence who are not supported by traditional victim services agencies.
