The FUDGE Foundation (Flourishing Under Distress Given Encouragement) is a Dayton, Ohio-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established by Dion Green in honor of his father, Derrick Fudge, who was tragically killed in the August 2019 mass shooting in Dayton's Oregon District. Dedicated to turning personal trauma into a collective lifeline, the foundation provides essential grief and trauma support counseling, runs local initiatives like free weekly community meals, and spearheads critical gun violence prevention advocacy at both local and national levels. Operating out of its dedicated community resource center in Dayton, the organization serves as a safe physical hub and support network helping survivors and families navigate the painful aftermath of violence and tragedy.
