Let’s end gun violence… together.
Your gift in any amount helps the Violence Policy Center educate the public and policymakers about the nation’s gun violence epidemic, expose the lethal activities of the firearms industry and gun lobby, and advocate for effective solutions.
While every contribution helps support our mission, donating monthly is one way you can make a significant impact. Your automatic monthly gift can be changed at any time and provides the VPC with a source of funding we can rely on as we work to reduce gun death and injury.
Thank you for your support!

Stock
Donating securities is a meaningful way to make a charitable gift while also yielding tax benefits and additional savings for you as the donor. When you make a gift of appreciated stock directly there is no capital gains tax and you also make a substantial contribution to the Violence Policy Center’s critical work. For stock transfer information, please contact Georgia Seltzer at the VPC by email at gseltzer@vpc.org or by phone at 202-822-8200 x104.
Please note that the VPC may not always receive donor information along with your gift of securities. To help us make sure that you will be properly credited for your gift and that you’ll receive an acknowledgment from us for tax purposes, please notify the VPC in advance of any transfer using this form or have your financial advisor contact us.
