Nine years ago, Lisa Molock founded Let's Thrive Baltimore in her
neighborhood to keep young people off the streets and out of the line of
fire. She started by building a Healing Garden in a neighborhood
devastated by daily gun violence, creating a safe space for survivors to
heal and for community members to gather, garden, and thrive.

The project has since grown to provide many critical services to community
members—including job programs and mentoring for young people, financial
literacy and therapeutic programs for families, and housing and cash
assistance for survivors of violence.

Organizations like Let's Thrive Baltimore have been delivering critical
community support for decades, healing families and neighborhoods while
preventing future gun violence.

This work, known as community-based violence intervention, is focused on
providing long-term support and care to communities that have been
systematically underserved. When local leaders are empowered to develop
their own playbook for addressing gun violence, they're able to take a
specialized approach that makes sense for their community.

But these organizations are often under-resourced, and require stable,
sustainable funding to continue serving their communities. That's where
the Everytown Community Safety Fund comes in: Since 2019, we've granted $8
million to 72 organizations in 57 cities who are leading innovative,
promising programs to reduce gun violence in their communities.
