Build a future where each of us can live free from the threat of gun violence.
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.
Policy advocacy is a central thread. Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund Inc. gave $70,000 to the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators for general operating support and $45,000 to America Votes for general operating support, aligning with organizations that work in legislative and electoral advocacy spaces. It also funded State Solutions Inc. twice at $50,000 each for membership dues. The foundation supports caucus-based leadership networks as well, including $50,000 to the Board of Latino Legislative Leaders for general operating support and $40,000 to the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership for general operating support and a policy session sponsorship. In addition, it backed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute with $45,000 for leadership conference and gala sponsorship, and gave $35,000 to the Western Governors Association for sponsorship.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five figures: p25 is $14,000, median is $25,000, and p75 is $46,250. The recent list shows both operating support and sponsorship-style support, along with some larger one-off awards at the top of the range. Recurring support is visible in multiple years for several recipients, including America Votes, the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, and State Solutions Inc. The foundation is a public charity, not a fund for individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Recent grants are all domestic.
