Grandmothers Against Gun Violence FOUNDATION

GRANDMOTHERS AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE FOUNDATION works to end gun violence in our communities by funding research that informs public health and safety policies.

Our Approach

GRANDMOTHERS FOUNDATION recognizes gun violence as a public health epidemic and seeks remedies through research, education and community engagement. We believe sustained investments in research on gun violence will lead to policies that will save lives. GRANDMOTHERS FOUNDATION supports emerging researchers in gun violence prevention. We encourage interdisciplinary research that involves disciplines such as public health, social work, psychology, medicine, public policy, and education. 

Our Projects

GRANDMOTHERS FOUNDATION has funded eight research projects in Washington State. Our 2024 research projects are investigating mental health impacts of school shootings, risk factors for intimate partner homicides, and hospital-based interventions to prevent community gun violence.

Our History

Founded in 2018, GRANDMOTHERS FOUNDATION is an affiliate of Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, which has a broad reach over Washington state and many other states in the US.
