Attorney General Jack Conway today announced that his office, which administers Kentucky’s Child Victim’s Trust Fund, is awarding almost $130,000 in grants to 12 non-profit organizations in Kentucky to help prevent sexual assault and provide medical exams for children who have been sexually abused.
“I appreciate the work that these organizations do on a daily basis and know they will utilize these funds to help prosecute individuals who harm Kentucky children and provide valuable educational information to help keep our children safe,” General Conway said.
The Women’s Crisis Center, Inc. in Covington is the recipient of the Child Victims’ Trust Fund 2009 Prevention Program Education Grant. The grant of $30,443 will fund local child abuse prevention programs.
