LifeBridge Health secures $100K grant to combat gun violence in Baltimore
The Everytown Community Safety Fund (CSF), part of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, Friday announced $100,000 in funding for LifeBridge Health’s Center for Hope to advance its work of ending gun violence in Baltimore and better position the organization to access federal funding.
This grant is part of the CSF’s more than $2 million investment in 20 gun violence intervention organizations nationwide. The CSF, a program of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, is the largest national initiative solely dedicated to fueling the life-saving work of community-based violence intervention organizations in cities nationwide.
Since 2019, the CSF has granted more than $13 million in support of 136 community-based violence intervention organizations implementing promising strategies, like street outreach, hospital-based violence interventions and youth development and counseling, in more than 69 American cities.
This latest round of support grants, currently CSF’s largest grant offering, will provide grant recipients $100,000, in two disbursements over two years, as well as access to CSF’s quarterly calls, peer convenings, capacity-building trainers, national conferences, as well as support from Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and its grassroots networks Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, and national partners.
