Description
The Crime Prevention Foundation, offered through the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, supports efforts that contribute to a safer Brown County. It funds both existing and new initiatives that reduce or eliminate an individual’s desire, ability, or opportunity to commit a crime, recognizing that effective crime prevention can take many forms.
Priorities include educational initiatives and awareness efforts addressing factors that contribute to harmful or unsafe behavior. The program also supports engagement and personal development through mentoring, education, and recreational activities, especially for people facing additional challenges or barriers. Programs that teach practical safety strategies, build skills, and encourage positive decision-making are another priority, helping people make choices that protect themselves and their communities.
