About Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund
Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund Inc makes large grants across research, public education, community violence intervention, and policy work, with repeated seven-figure support for Trace Media Inc and the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund Inc. The foundation’s grantmaking shows a mix of program support for community groups and institutional funding for universities, research centers, and convenings tied to gun violence prevention. Recent grants also include support for a regional office of violence prevention in King County, a firearms law and policy research program at Duke University, and a violence reduction center symposium at the University of Maryland. That pattern points to a funder that combines direct community safety work with research, training, and field-building. The portfolio includes both sustained support and one-off project grants, alongside grants for technical assistance, outreach, and event sponsorship. In the recent grants list, community-oriented awards appear beside funding for faith-community outreach, injury prevention research, and history-of-gun-studies programming, showing a broad but clearly defined gun-safety agenda. The foundation’s giving is national in scope and reaches a range of intermediary organizations as well as local implementation partners.
