Mission

Project unloaded inc. (organization) is a non-profit corporation organized to raise awareness and create a new cultural narrative that guns make us less safe.

Through our community partner program, project unloaded works with teen-facing organizations to empower young people with the facts on why they're safer unarmed and to train teens on how to use social media to spread that message to their peers.

Expenses: $144K

Young people are at the heart of everything we do at project unloaded. Our teen and young adult leaders are the creative engines behind our social media campaigns, reaching their peers with the life-saving message that guns make us less safe. Project unloaded is proudly supported by two teams of young people. Our youth council advises on upcoming campaigns, shapes our digital presence, and develops their own creative and community projects to engage their networks around the message that we're safer unarmed. In 2024, we expanded our opportunities for young leaders, with the formation of our inaugural creator corps, which focuses on social media strategy and content creation.
