The Urban Child Institue (TUCI) has given $2 million to the University of Memphis for a project focused on the health of at-risk children.
Earlier this year, the Memphis nonprofit organization announced a new gifting strategy that would give $8 million in 2016 to organizations supporting children's needs. The new strategy increased the amount of money TUCI will give annually to children's causes.
The U of M's $2 million grant was outlined in April as a part of that gifting strategy. The money will support a project with the university, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
The Adverse Childhood Experiences Prevention Project (ACE). aims to "create a culture of health for vulnerable children in Memphis," according to a Wednesday news release from the U of M, and will focus on areas such as child neglect and abuse, housing, asthma, and breastfeeding.
