ABOUT THE Prime Protection Foundation
PROBLEM: In 2012, a former student entered Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, shooting and killing 26 people. Twenty were children between six and seven years old, six were staff members. In 2017 a gunman entered the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing 26 people, including an unborn child, and wounding 22 others. Sadly, many more shootings have occurred after these heinous acts and unfortunately more will happen in the future (see our STATS page).
SOLUTION: The Prime Protection Foundation (PPF) is a response to the anger many feel about the rise of shootings in schools and places of worship. It provides a form of action that can be taken to assuage the feelings of grief and helplessness experienced after each senseless attack. To provide significant help, PPF addresses a key issue: Schools and places of worship typically can’t afford the various safety products they need. Funding them is where PPF can do the most good.
PPF dedicates its efforts to providing life-saving products and services at no cost to schools, places of worship and other venues where gun violence might occur. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, PPF uses tax-deductible donations and grant proceeds to provide tools that can be used to prevent or reduce the harm done by gun violence.
