Marking 25th Year, Project ChildSafe Aims to Raise $250,000
2024 marks the 25-year anniversary of Project ChildSafe®, the firearm safety and education program of NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association. Since its inception, Project ChildSafe has raised awareness about safely handling and securely storing firearms when not in use, along with educating children about firearm safety. Marking this milestone, NSSF aims to raise $250,000 over the next year to provide more free gun locks and educational materials to gun owners across the country.

Project ChildSafe Has Distributed over 40,000,000 Gun locks
Started in 1999, Project ChildSafe began in just five cities in the USA. Now it has grown to serve all 50 states and the five U.S. territories. To date, Project ChildSafe has distributed more than 40 million safety kits, which include a cable-style gun-lock and educational brochures. The firearm safety kits are distributed through partnerships with more than 15,000 local law enforcement agencies and 13,000 organizational partners.

“For 25 years, Project ChildSafe has operated on both the national and local levels to provide genuine firearm safety solutions to communities that need them most,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Since its launch, fatal firearm accidents have dropped to historic lows. The program also aims to prevent firearm thefts and suicide.” Bill Brassard, NSSF Communications director added: “[O]ver the years we’ve heard stories firsthand of how our safety kits have saved lives by preventing accidents and suicides[.]”
To mark 25 years of Project ChildSafe, NSSF hopes to raise $250,000 in funding for the program over the next year. Individual supporters and organizations are invited to donate to Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and all donations to the organization are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
