From 2013 to 2021, the number of homicides annually in the City of Philadelphia increased 128%. The city was in crisis. In an effort to help address this issue, the Philadelphia Foundation and the William Penn Foundation, in partnership with Urban Affairs Coalition, The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Equity Alliance, stepped forward in 2021 to help catalyze a broad civic effort that will drive adoption of evidence-based and sustainable strategies.

The Coalition to Save Lives represents a cross-section of community and faith-based organizations, foundations, non-profit groups, and the business community who have come together to learn about, support, and drive proven, sustainable intervention strategies to materially reduce gun violence.

While the rate of these crimes remains high, few cities can match the level of gun violence reduction Philadelphia experienced from 2022-2023.

This progress is a testament to the dedicated work of the many civic, philanthropic, non-profit, business, grassroots and government organizations sharing ownership of the problem as well as acting on solutions.Together, we are making a meaningful difference in creating a safer Philadelphia for everyone.
