Callen Lorde provides compassionate, affordable healthcare to underserved LGBT folks in NYC. On a more personal note they were instrumental in my wife and I starting our family. Living Traditions is the non-profit home for Jalopy Theatre & School of Music, a local community hub for people who love old-time country, blues, jazz, and more. I have taken many a class and made life-long friends here. Thorn defends children from sexual abuse on the internet. Earthjustice is committed to fighting climate change, a deep concern. Violence Policy Center works to hold the gun industry accountable for the health and safety impact of their products as well as working to reduce domestic violence.

Gun violence in the United States has become a public health crisis, and leaves citizens wondering what they can do to help prevent the next tragedy. Bright Funds created the Anti-Gun Violence Fund to promote and support organizations whose missions include advocating for gun violence prevention at all levels. These pre-vetted organizations use legislative advocacy, education, research and community-based programming to enhance gun control policy while educating community members on the warning signs of a potential attack. Through a single donation to this fund you will support a group of nonprofit organizations who are doing the work to create a nation safe from the tragedy of gun violence.
