About grants for gun violence prevention

Grants for gun violence prevention support community-based violence intervention, hospital-based programs, youth outreach, research, and prevention initiatives. Federal funding has been administered through the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, including community-based violence intervention efforts, with funding levels and program availability shifting between administrations. Major private funders, including national foundations focused on public health and community safety, provide substantial and more stable support for evidence-informed prevention work.

What grants are available for gun violence prevention?

Grants in this area fund community violence intervention and interruption programs, hospital-based violence intervention, street outreach and mentoring, victim and survivor services, prevention research, and evaluation of what works. Federal funding is administered chiefly through the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, though specific initiatives and funding levels change over time. Private foundations and public-health funders provide additional, often more flexible support for prevention organizations.

Who funds gun violence prevention grants?

The primary federal funder is the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Justice Programs and its bureaus, which have supported community-based violence intervention work; availability and priorities can shift with federal budgets and policy. Outside the federal government, major national foundations and public-health philanthropies are significant and more consistent funders, alongside state and city governments that increasingly fund local violence intervention through their own budgets.

Who is eligible to apply for gun violence prevention funding?

Eligible applicants typically include nonprofit community organizations, hospitals and health systems, units of local and state government, universities, and tribal organizations, depending on the specific program. Because federal availability can fluctuate, many grassroots groups pursue a blend of city and county contracts, state appropriations, and private foundation grants. Demonstrating an evidence-informed model, community partnerships, and a plan to measure outcomes is central to a competitive application.
