CHARTER INITIATIVES
Ebola Relief Efforts Wrap Up for Louisville, KY, Charter for Compassion City
Initiatives are on-going city and community campaigns which are involved in creating, evaluating and sustaining action plans. Many of these plans involve working with local partners in strengthening initiatives, and more and more, a number of initiatives are reaching across borders to help with projects based in a twin or sister city. Some communities have even adapted a compassionate initiative or project beyond their own borders. Some cities/communities are highlighted and linked to a description of their work. If you are involved in an initiative listed here, please contact us so we might include an update of what is happening in your community:
