The Joyce Foundation is committed to improving public policy through its grant program, including policies concerning gun violence. The Gun Violence program supports efforts to reduce deaths and injuries from handguns and other firearms. Program priorities are: 1) supporting state-based policy initiatives in Illinois and Wisconsin that can achieve meaningful reforms and provide a model for gun policy nationwide; 2) supporting state groups in other Midwest states to expand their membership, funding levels, and organizational capacity to promote meaningful gun policy; 3) supporting focused research to support state policy efforts and 4) strengthening public and policy maker support for full implementation of the National Violent Death Reporting System.

Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations engaging in public policy advocacy that have an impact on the Great Lakes region.
