Overview

Mission

The Organizations's mission is to develop and compile eduacational materials and programs related to the hazards and the costs to society of gun violence and to conduct educational programs for the general public.

What it reported doing in 2024

RIGVEF continued to educate and inform the public on the myriad impacts of gun violence on our communities and need for prevention. Methods included printed materials, social media, tv and radio interviews, community events and presentations shared by the ED at schools and other nonprofit organizations. Groups reached by RIGVEF outreach include local Unitarian Universalists churches, RI Public HealthAssociation and Brown Medical School. The organization's leadership and volunteers also provided support to survivors of gun violence at memorial events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
