The Megan Montgomery Foundation, a Hoover-based grant-making nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing relationship violence before it starts through healthy relationship education, has announced six new members of its board of directors.
The newly appointed board members include:

“We’re honored to welcome these six exceptional individuals to our board,” said Meredith Montgomery-Price, executive director of the foundation and Megan Montgomery’s sister. “Each brings valuable expertise and a shared commitment to empowering young people with the skills and knowledge to build healthy, respectful relationships. Their leadership strengthens our capacity to create lasting change in communities across the state.”
These new members join the foundation’s existing board:
- Kari Hudson, director of business development and client relations at Purpose Possible

The Megan Montgomery Foundation was founded by Megan’s mother, sister and stepfather after she was slain on Dec. 1, 2019, by her estranged husband. He is serving a 30-year sentence. They are devoting their lives to fulfill her vision of early intervention of relationship violence, before it escalates. Since its creation, the foundation has awarded $363,000 in grants to nonprofits and educational institutions across Alabama to empower young people with information and skills to recognize unhealthy behaviors and hold their peers accountable before any violence occurs.
