The Tim Griffith Foundation is dedicated to promoting peace in our communities by supporting innovative programs addressing the root causes of violence.
Violence is a serious and large problem in the United States and in the world. From infants to the elderly, it affects people in all stages of life. Over 25,000 people lost their lives to violence in 2009 in the United States.
The number of violent deaths tells only part of the story. Many more people survive violence and are left with permanent traumatic emotional and physical scars. Violence erodes our communities by increasing drop-out rates in schools, tearing families apart and creating an environment devoid of compassion and kindness.
