The Greater Milwaukee Foundation Violence Prevention Fund was established to support the violence prevention efforts in the City of Milwaukee through the Office of Violence Prevention. The Office of Violence Prevention provides strategic direction and oversight for City efforts to reduce risk of violence through linked strategies in partnership with government, non-profit, neighborhood, and faith organizations.

Community-wide prevention is the most effective, long-term solution to violence, and the Office of Violence Prevention engages a wide range of partners to facilitate a multidisciplinary, population-level approach to influence the social, behavioral, and environmental factors that contribute to violence. The Office of Violence Prevention brings together agencies, experts, and community resources on efforts that reduce:

  • Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence
  • Sexual Assault
  • Child Abuse
  • Human Trafficking
  • Children Witness to Violence
  • Community Violence
  • Gun Violence
  • Interpersonal Violence, Intentional injury, and Homicide
