A statewide collaboration to prevent firearm harm
Preventable injuries and deaths from firearms impact Coloradans every day. Firearms are the third leading cause of death from injury among adults and the leading cause of death for young people in our state.
The Colorado Safe Futures Fund is utilizing a public health approach to provide communities with actionable data, resources and capacity to create meaningful change.
The Fund’s primary objective is to invest in and advocate for efforts that reduce and prevent firearm-related injury and death in Colorado. We plan to do this by:
- Investing in local interventions - rural, urban, and suburban – in partnership with local governments and community-based organizations.
- Supporting statewide initiatives that build momentum, attracting additional federal and national funding.
- Establishing a central philanthropic hub to foster learning and networking opportunities, ensure alignment, and increase investments.
