The application process for a One Lexington Violence Prevention Grant opened today.
Community partners working with youth and young adults ages 10 – 29 to prevent or address gun violence are invited to apply for grants of up to $10,000.
Funding for the grants, which last year totaled $150,000, will not be finalized until they are approved by the Urban County Council as part of the 2026 – 2027 budget. A final vote on the budget is scheduled for June 9.
This is the fifth year for the grant program. Last year, 18 nonprofit organizations received funding.
