About Fuse Project:

Fuse Project is dedicated to providing the spark for innovation, funding, and implementation of projects benefiting children along Alabama’s Gulf Coast. In 2018, the Fuse Project narrowed its geographic focus and launched The Historic Avenue Foundation as a community quarterback for the “Avenue” neighborhood adjacent to downtown Mobile. Through a holistic approach encompassing education, housing, and community wellness, the Fuse Project is committed to breaking the cycle of generational poverty and empowering residents to create a brighter future. The Fuse Project was recently awarded the CHDO (prestigious Community Housing Development Organization) designation, recognizing its capacity to develop and manage affordable housing solutions within the community.
