About Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund
Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund Inc. makes grants that sit at the intersection of gun violence prevention and state-level policy infrastructure. Recent support includes $250,000 to Stronger America Inc for general operating support and $200,000 to Road to Michigan's Future for general operating support, showing a pattern of funding organizations that can move policy, advocacy, and organizing work at scale. The funder also backs civic and legislative convenings, from a $67,500 sponsorship package for the NCSL Foundation for State Legislatures to a $55,000 grant to the National Black Caucus of State Legislators for conference sponsorship and operating support. Its grant list includes support for ballot measure work, caucus networks, and leadership-focused organizations tied to lawmakers and policy professionals. The public charity structure and national scope point to a grantmaker that uses multiple channels of support rather than a single program model. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor organizations positioned to shape legislation, strengthen coalitions, and support survivor- and community-facing gun violence prevention efforts.
