Overview
Mission
Disarm hearts and forge peace. We are comprehensive in our efforts to move communities away from violence. It’s not enough to just make tools from guns. We need to help teach each other new ways to solve our problems through relationship, dialogue, and alternative means of justice. Donate a Gun Our Mission. Disarm hearts and forge peace Our nation has been through a variety of horrific events surrounding gun violence, and it has brought the conversation to the forefront of our current events and “water cooler” conversations. It has largely become a binary conversation of either more guns or more laws. RAWtools wants to open a new option, a third way: What if we made a commitment to solve our problems without guns and violence?
What it reported doing in 2024
Vine and Fig Programming: Our work here focuses on community influences that encourage or discourage gun violence. Our programming here addresses factors that may increase gun violence, by providing programs and services to alleviate these factors. Expenses here reflect our fiscal sponsorship of an organization working to provide mental health services to communities adversely affected by gun violence, especially around the intersection of food insecurity and marginalized identities. Expenses noted here were the remainder of funds to be dispersed to the fiscally sponsred organization from a grant the previous year which extended into February of 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
