INDIANAPOLIS — Mayor Joe Hogsett and city officials announced Friday the sixth round of recipients for the Elevation Grant Program.
In total, 51 grants worth more than $9 million will be distributed to various local organizations.
The Elevation Grant Program is investing $45 million in Indianapolis neighborhoods through six rounds of funding granted over three years (2022-2024).
The mayor's office said the funding supports local nonprofits working to "address root causes of violent crime."
“When we listen to our neighbors and empower them to make the changes they want to see in their own neighborhoods, our whole community moves forward,” Hogsett said. “The Elevation Grant Program allows organizations in our city to expand and enhance the good work that is making Indianapolis a better, safer place for all.”
The program is a partnership between the City of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis Foundation.
“The Indianapolis Foundation is proud to administer the Elevation Grant Program, which has provided funding to organizations working day in and day out to reduce gun violence in Indianapolis,” said Lorenzo Esters, president of the Indianapolis Foundation. “We believe community action is best when led by the people who live in the community. Through the Elevation Grant, we have supported the expansion, reach, and impact of community organizations working to reduce gun violence.”
Since 2022, city officials said 238 total grants have been made to 127 non-profits.
