Mission

Maine Gun Safety Coalition Foundation, a 501.c.3 nonprofit organization, protects our communities by collaborating with our partners including law enforcement, healthcare providers, gun owners and fellow citizens by providing education and programs. We provide opportunities for citizens to turn in unwanted guns on an annual Gun Give Back Day. We provide Free Gun Locks. We operate a Pediatricians Program to train pediatric healthcare providers on how to best discuss gun safe storage with parents and guardians. We provide speakers through our Community Speakers Program for groups interested in improving gun safety in Maine. If you would like someone to speak to your group or would like to host an event contact us. We provide information about how to safely store a gun. We serve as a go-to resource for the Maine media regarding the effectiveness of gun laws in response to gun tragedies and the potential impact of proposed legislation. We share Resources and other information with organizations, and towns on gun violence in Maine including gun-related domestic violence, suicides, and accidents, and the impact of gun safety laws and proposed legislative remedies. We serve on state and federal task forces that study gun violence in Maine and the US Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods.
