2023 Funding Opportunity
The city of Aurora is offering a funding opportunity to organizations that offer youth violence prevention and intervention services and activities. The available $500,000, which will be split among the selected organizations that apply by 5 p.m. March 31, will support the city’s Youth Violence Prevention Program mission and the collective efforts of the youth violence prevention network.
The city is designating 80% of the funding for intervention efforts and the remaining 20% for prevention efforts. Intervention efforts may include direct outreach to groups actively involved in a violent incident in the community, hospital-based programs engaging patients during their recovery, specialized mental health treatment services, internationally recognized family skills training programs, and crisis services to support families. Prevention efforts may include school-led activities and programs, faith-based implementation of supportive services that can be initiated after violent events in the community, community engagement activities and youth programming.
