St. Louis Regional Racial Healing + Justice Fund Announces $80,000 in Crisis Response Grants
Five organizations will receive $16,000 each to support community healing efforts following recent tragedy
ST. LOUIS (December 13, 2022) — The Community Governance Board (CGB) of the St. Louis Regional Racial Healing + Justice Fund announced today the distribution of five unrestricted, one-time crisis response grants of $16,000 each to The T/BRIC, Black Healers Collective, UnGUN Institute, St. Louis Community Health Worker Coalition, and Freedom Community Center. The grants will support these organizations’ ongoing efforts to provide frontline response to community trauma following the recent tragedy at Central Visual Performing Arts High School (CVPA) and Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience (CSMB).
…“This grant is an answered prayer,” said Dr. Marty K. Casey, Owner & Founder of UnGUN Institute, LLC. “The funds from the Racial Healing + Justice Fund clear our path of the obstacles standing in the way of UnGUN and our increasing community crisis response work. We know that when we share trauma, we also have the ability to share healing. These additional resources empower us to guide and support impacted individuals and communities through this collective healing process.”
