Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign — Ohio Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Amendment (March 2018)

[Criminal Justice Reform] Grant investigator: Chloe Cockburn This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Representatives of the Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign also reviewed this page prior to publication. The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $500,000 to the Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign to support the Ohio Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Amendment. The amendment, which advocates plan to place on the ballot in November 2018, aims to reduce imprisonment for low-level, nonviolent drug and probation violation offenses; encourage participation in rehabilitation for people in prison; and reallocate prison spending to drug treatment, community alternatives to incarceration, and victim services. This grant was made by a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, to which we occasionally make funding recommendations. This is a discretionary grant, and falls within our focus area of criminal justice reform.
