YOUR DONATION
WILL HELP SAVE LIVES
As survivors, we know first hand the debilitating pain and trauma of gun violence.
And we have met and spoken with countless other survivors who have experienced this heartbreak.
We can stop shootings before they happen. We can heal trauma and prevent retaliation.
We can empower our community peacemakers and co-create a strong, fully-scaled system of community-centered public health and safety. And we can build Peace For DC.

Let's Come Together To Keep DC Alive
Peace For DC is establishing a small group of catalytic funders and multi-year supporters to join us in healing communities and giving every DC resident a chance to live a full life.
This critical support will give Peace For DC the runway and flexibility we need to spark change and invest our efforts where they are needed the most: working hand-in-hand with frontline peacemakers and agents of change to transform communities.
1st Chance Sponsor ($225k over 3 years)
Multi-year commitments of $75,000 annually (for a minimum of 3 years), can provide our high-risk participants with the 360-degree care they need to put down their guns and transform their lives. Join us in giving community members that have never been given a chance, their first chance to thrive.
Peace Academy Booster ($150k over 3 years)
Multi-year commitments of $50,000 annual (for a minimum of 3 years), can support our DC Peace Academy students, going towards their class instruction, 1-on-1 sessions with a licensed therapist and life coach, providing them with lunches during class, a graduation honorarium, and with emergency funds if they experience a hardship that is an impediment to their Academy participation.
Healing Hero ($75k over 3 years)
Multi-year commitments of $25,000 annual (for a minimum of 3 years), can help us grow our efforts to teach Roca’s Rewire CBT to highly impacted communities, including costs for teachers and participant stipends.
Let's Give Everyone A First Chance
With your investment, we can reduce homicides, treat trauma, and transform lives. We can work with individuals who are not just at risk but in crisis, and help them to stay alive, stay out of jail, and get on a path where they are not in crisis but are able to develop a healthy peaceful life, and become the next changemakers, the catalysts for peace in their families and communities.
Now is the moment.
We are at a critical moment in the District. The number of homicides and shootings continue to rise, and along with it, the number of families devastated by gun violence. We have an opportunity to turn things around. We cannot wait. One murder is one murder too many.
Everyone in DC has the basic human right to live in safety and PEACE.
We can’t keep doing the same thing again and again and expect different results. We can’t keep
hammering away on a government heavy model for alternative public safety. Communities don’t want to be handed their public safety plan. It’s about going deeper, embracing community, powering up narrowly focused evidence-based community-powered solutions. And reaching the right people with the surgical specific care and treatment - for their trauma - for their future.
THANK YOU
