Based in Washington, D.C., the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence is a small nonprofit that translates research into public policy to reduce gun violence. It serves as a research intermediary in the gun violence prevention field and founded the Consortium for Risk-Based Firearm Policy, a collaboration of scholars and practitioners developing policy recommendations for decision-makers. The organization also provides technical assistance to policymakers and advocates by drafting and supporting the implementation of evidence-based policy. It engages in advocacy through lobbying, policymaker education, and media outreach, and it collaborates with communities affected by gun violence to build a trained voting bloc that supports policies to reduce gun violence. The group positions itself within the public policy landscape as a nonprofit focused on translating research into actionable policy, with a lean staff and a clear mission. A notable development in its history is the 2018 launch of Disarm Domestic Violence, a website created to clarify state laws around domestic violence protective orders involving firearm removal.
