What Focused Interruption Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to address and reduce generational trauma caused by gun violence through a comprehensive approach. We focus on delivering evidence-based intervention and prevention services tailored to the needs of the individuals, neighborhoods, and families most impacted by gun violence. By integrating these services, we aim to foster healing and resilience in communities, empowering them to break the cycle of violence and trauma.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Focused interruption, inc. Is a community-rooted organization committed to reducing violence, promoting healing, and fostering resilience through culturally responsive, trauma-informed programming. Guided by the social determinants of health, we address the root causes of violence and inequity by offering services that promote long-term stability and well-being. Our work centers around five key areas: outreach, community safety work, mentorship, aftercare and recovery, and support groups. We provide services such as crisis response, peer mentorship, mental health and substance use support, job readiness and employment assistance, housing support, legal aid navigation, and access to basic needs. Through strong partnerships with schools, local agencies, and community stakeholders, we empower individuals and families to heal, thrive, and contribute to safer, more connected communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $531k to $771k (+45%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2022 22% · 2023 57% · 2024 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
