Dallas-based Aventiv was the presenting sponsor for the event held in Washington D.C. yesterday and today. It was focused on bringing together a range of stakeholders—public, private, and nonprofit—to innovate re-entry employment solutions for the one-in-two working-aged adults who will have an arrest or conviction record by 2030, according to Aventiv.
The Dallas Foundation awarded the $50,000 prize for FreeWorld's efforts to end generational poverty and recidivism by "accelerating economic mobility for returning citizens."
The nonprofit literally drives its graduates to new lives by training them to become truck drivers with stable, high-paying careers. Its founder and CEO has been in their shoes—he was convicted at age 15 for aggravated robbery in Dallas.
Plus, grants for Southern Dallas Thrives, a state grant for mental health, and fundraising by A Conversation with a Legend and TWO X TWO for AIDS and Art, as well as other social efforts to boost nonprofits in North Texas.
