Ion Center ribbon cutting

A new nonprofit fund will work to care for people affected by power-based violence.

Ion Center for Violence Prevention is partnering with Horizon Community funds to continue the Ion Center’s work of providing services to survivors of violence in the community.

“This fund will help them continue their work and bring awareness to an important cause,” said Nancy Grayson, president and CEO of Horizon Community Funds.

The Ion Center was founded in 1976 with the intention to provide services to survivors of power-based personal violence in the Northern Kentucky, Buffalo Trace, and Greater Cincinnati areas. They offer free, confidential support and services to victim-survivors of all identities who have experienced personal violence such as sexual violence, intimate partner violence, child abuse, and/or stalking.

“We love calling Northern Kentucky home, and we are so excited about this collaboration with Horizon Community Funds,” said Christy Burch, CEO of the Ion Center. “Every single day the Ion Center for Violence Prevention works to do two things: Take the best care of people impacted by power-based personal violence and keep violence from happening in the first place. This is made possible because of the incredible support we receive from our communities and region.”

Fund partnerships with Horizon Community Funds provide a flexible way for donors to support their preferred nonprofit organization or charitable effort. Donors can make an endowed gift to support the mission of the nonprofit organization for generations to come or can opt to make a non-endowed gift which provides funding for needs as they arise in Northern Kentucky. Horizon Community Funds offers donors and fund holders a deep connection to Northern Kentucky, including its nonprofits and needs.
