“The funding for these grants came from $8 million in funding received by the Up Partnership and the San Antonio Area Foundation from New York-based national nonprofit consortium Blue Meridian Partners in late 2020 to help with equitable recovery in San Antonio, the release said.
UP Partnership officials said they have funds from Blue Meridian Partners for initiatives that specifically fall under their three equity focus areas of increasing youth voice, access to college and career opportunities, and healing instead of punitive disciplinary measures.”
