Overview

Mission

The mission of North Carolinians Against Gun Violence Action Fund, Inc. is to promote gun violence prevention policies, educate North Carolinians on current gun legislation and the positions of North Carolina elected officials, and support North Carolina candidates who advocate to reduce gun violence.

What it reported doing in 2024

North Carolinians Against Gun Violence Action Fund educated policymakers on the importance of gun violence prevention strategies to ensure our communities remain safe from gun violence. We hosted training for volunteers to become advocates for increased gun violence prevention strategies, shared opportunities for volunteers to advocate for change and connect with their policymakers, and hosted phone banks to allow volunteers to connect with constituents across the state to support gun violence prevention candidates and policies. We advocated against the repeal of life-saving policies and prevention measures and for more robust protections to keep communities safe from gun violence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
