$770,000 Awarded to Prevent Firearm Harm in Colorado
In October 2025, the Colorado Safe Futures Fund (CSFF) awarded $770,000 to 18 organizations across the state working to reduce and prevent firearm-related injury and death. Seeking to prevent everything from suicide and partner violence to mass and community violence to accidental injury or death, these inaugural grants support local, community-led interventions – rural, urban and suburban alike. Each organization works to advance practical, evidence-based solutions that help make Colorado communities safer.

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 was launched in 2023 by a collaborative of philanthropic partners across Colorado. Taking a public health approach, the Fund's efforts will provide communities with actionable data, resources and capacity to create meaningful change for a safer future.
The Fund’s primary objective is to invest in and advocate for efforts that reduce and prevent firearm-related injury and death in Colorado.
- Investing in local interventions – rural, urban, and suburban – in partnership with local governments and community-based organizations.
- Supporting statewide initiatives that build momentum, share resources and support prevention efforts.
- Establishing a central philanthropic hub to foster learning and networking opportunities, ensure alignment and increase investments.
