Throughout the last several months, several communities across the country have come under threat of gun violence.
We grieve for those who lost their lives, those injured and those who are traumatized as a result of the senseless, horrific shootings in Highland Park, IL, Uvalde, TX and Buffalo, NY.
Highland Park, Illinois
To help those directly impacted by the mass shooting in Highland Park, the Highland Park Community Foundation has established a July 4th Highland Park Shooting Response Fund. All contributions to the Response Fund will go directly to the needs of survivors and families impacted by the shooting.
Uvalde, Texas
The San Antonio Area Foundation is partnering with the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to support the community of Uvalde through two charitable funds.
- The Uvalde Strong Fund is a relief fund for victims, their families, and others affected by the shooting.
- The Uvalde Strong Survivors Fund will provide direct financial assistance to the survivors of the deceased and those directly affected by this tragedy.
Buffalo, New York
The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo has also launched two funds to support survivors of the May 14 shooting and to advance racial equity in their region.
- In partnership with Tops and the National Compassion Fund, the Buffalo 5/14 Survivors Fund will provide direct financial assistance to the survivors of the deceased and those directly affected by this tragedy.
- The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and United Way of Buffalo & Erie County have partnered to establish the Buffalo Together Community Response Fund to take action and to work to address immediate needs in their community, long-term community rebuilding, and systemic issues that have marginalized communities of color.
