The July 4 Recovery Fund’s creation follows the distribution of money donated to the Highland Park Shooting Response Fund last year. Individual claimants received a total of $5.22 million, and $580,000 was allocated to organizations that responded to the shooting by offering mental health services to the community.
Applications for grants from the Highland Park Community Foundation to families of those killed, wounded victims and nonprofits helping the community cope with the tragedy are due by Sept. 7
