Ten years ago, the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities was formed to reduce gun violence in Chicago. Over time, we have demonstrated that community-led efforts can make a real impact. In 2025, Chicago experienced its lowest homicide rate in six decades and saw a nearly 50 percent decline in shootings since 2021. Despite this progress, the urgency of our work has not diminished. Gun violence and public safety remain top concerns for residents, underscoring the ongoing need for our collective efforts.
A coalition of more than 50 funders and foundations is now “one table” of partnerships forged among Chicago’s business community, local and state government, faith-based and community organizations. Join us during Gun Violence Awareness Month to learn how philanthropy and public-private partnerships have fostered evidence-based, community-driven public safety solutions that serve as a model for the nation. The conversation will also provide opportunities for attendees to learn how to take action and get involved.
