Why Partner with Us?
The Safe Student Foundation mobilizes charitable funding from the firearms community and retailers like you to protect students from physical threats and support their mental well-being.
Children are the cornerstone of our nation’s future. Yet schools and families face growing safety and mental health challenges, often with limited resources. The Safe Student Foundation is committed to helping provide the support they need.
Becoming an SSF partner is free and allows retailers to offer customers the option to round up their purchase at checkout. These contributions help fund school safety initiatives and mental health support for students and families.
Together, these donations help schools improve security infrastructure, provide critical education and training, and help families cover counseling and therapy sessions for students.
SSF provides funding in four areas that help keep students safe and supported:
Infrastructure
Infrastructure grants involve improving upon the overall infrastructure of the school, including, but not limited to:
- Security cameras, door lock upgrades and securing entrances
- Weapons detection, turnstiles and other safety designs
- Officer and security team deployment
Education
Educational-based grants include any safety education related to active shooter defense, including:
- Active shooter defense intelligence gathering and prevention
- Preparedness and response training
- Gun safety and knowledge for teachers, administrators and students
Training
Training grants include:
- Training of teachers, administrators and staff in the use of active shooter response using both non-lethal and lethal weapons
Mental Health Support
Mental health support gifts help families cover counseling and therapy sessions for students, reducing financial barriers to essential and ongoing care.
