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.

In the past, three to four grassroots groups are awarded to help build capacity and sustainability.

The Elevation Grants provide more than $4.3 million to 31 programs at local organizations that address root causes of violence.

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