We all deserve to feel secure where we live, work and play; but in reality with thousands of Californians killed or injured from gun violence every year there is much work to be done.
The Hope and Heal Fund is an essential partner in building healthy communities across California. Reducing gun violence is a bigger task than any one foundation can tackle on its own. Through the collective efforts of this statewide funder collaborative, we have the best chance to increase well-being in California and decrease gun-related mortality and the trauma it leaves behind.
