The Michael Reese Health Trust and Crown Family Philanthropies have been leading an effort in Chicago "to increase understanding of the clear but under-examined connections between community violence and DV/IPV."  They recently assembled a table of service providers from both sectors to move the conversation forward and subsequently released an RFP for a planning/pilot year to develop “feasible first steps toward a more sustainable approach to preventing and reducing intimate partner and community violence.” Organizations that are participants in the newly formed collaborative are eligible to apply. The intent of the funding opportunity is to identify a group of collaborative leaders that will keep the effort moving forward and guide an innovative pilot.
