Overview
Mission
Funding research that will be used to develop effective public health solutions for the prevention and mitigation of firearm related victimization, injury and death.
What it reported doing in 2021
In FY 2021, having negotiated an asset transfer and licensing agreement with the Aspen Institute, thereby greatly expanding its mission work through AFFIRM at the Aspen Institute, AFFIRM concluded its independent activities and completed the transfer of all corporate activities, assets, and liabilities to the Aspen Institute. With consent of the board of directors, AFFIRM dissolved on March 31, 2022

The verdict
