Safe Homes
No one is injured, killed, or threatened by a gun in a home, and all firearm suicides are prevented.
Our Approach
Hope and Heal Fund is deeply rooted in community engagement, with data-driven strategies informed by our community members and public health experts. We identify and support solutions that address the intersectional root causes and drivers of firearm violence and self-harm.
Safe Communities
All neighborhoods are free from gun violence, including our schools, houses of worship, community spaces, and workplaces; and the cycle of gun violence is broken in impacted communities
In the Spotlight
Aligned vision for an equitable and safer California Hope and Heal Fund intentionally leads by example and puts racial equity at the center of all that we do and where we fund. Racial equity is not new to Hope and Heal Fund. We know racism is inextricably connected to gun violence and cannot be ignored if we are to successfully reduce the incidences of injuries, trauma, and deaths as a result of firearm violence.
Implications For California and Beyond Hope and Heal Fund supports impacted communities in California and serves as a national model guiding other states on leveraging innovative strategies and empowering communities and stakeholders with actionable data, resources, and capacity while driving systemic change.
