Overview
Mission
Pierce's pledge is a non-profit organization whose mission is to keep children safe during the stressful and emotionally volatile time of custody disputes. We believe that by storing guns outside of the home during these times, we can do just that. We represent a voice and advocate for the child and work with lawyers, mediators, custody partners, and judges. A child cannot ask a parent to store a gun, but we can.
What it reported doing in 2025
Education: Pierces Pledge offers a multifaceted education program designed to support professionals and the public in matters related to child custody and gun violence prevention. A key component of our program is the toolkit, a comprehensive resource available for free as a PDF. Developed to assist judges, attorneys, mental health practitioners, mediators, court staff, and other professionals, the toolkit provides valuable guidance on handling child custody cases effectively and responsibly.In addition to our toolkit, we focus on gun violence prevention by raising public awareness through educational campaigns and advertising. Our team is also dedicated to maintaining a gun storage map, a continually updated resource that lists secure firearm storage locations to promote responsible gun ownership. Furthermore, we actively participate in conferences for family law professionals, where we present our pledge and share essential resources like the toolkit, ensuring that legal experts have the knowledge and tools needed to support families. Through these initiatives, Pierces Pledge remains committed to education, safety, and responsible advocacy.
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 95% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
