With generous donations from people like you, we provide gun violence prevention and school safety programs. Through our no-cost Know the Signs programs, we’ve trained more than 18 million students and educators to recognize the warning signs of gun violence – and we’ve helped avert multiple school shooting threats, teen suicides, and countless other acts of violence. A portion of funding also keeps the lights on: pays our staff, spreads our message and raises funds to sustain our mission. See our impact.
