Peace for DC

Everyone deserves to grow up and live in a community free from gun violence. The Peace For DC Fund is dedicated to funding proven strategies to reduce shootings and homicides in the District. By focusing on transforming the lives of the small number of individuals most at-risk of gun violence, and treating trauma in the communities that have suffered from the city’s highest homicide rates, we can dramatically reduce incidents of gun violence. In consultation with the nation's top gun violence reduction experts, we will build the capacity and scale of evidence-based programs run by trusted neighborhood based nonprofits. Peace For DC’s investments will interrupt the cycle of violence to stop shootings before they happen. Eliminating gun violence in DC is key to establishing racial and economic equity for everyone. Together, we can create and maintain Peace For DC.
