You can make a difference

The Gun Crisis Reporting Project is an award-winning, independent, nonprofit journalism community striving to illuminate the epidemic of homicide by gunfire in Philadelphia -- and to find solutions.

We do our best to inform readers who seek more information on gun violence incidents, issues and solutions. We illuminate groups and individuals working to prevent gun violence -- and provide professional support. And we focus on solutions when we meet officials, convene communities, visit colleges and universities or advise journalists covering gun violence in Philadelphia.

But we need your help. Click to see how your tax-deductible contribution can support our volunteer staff.
