PARTNERSHIPS
Advocacy
GIFFORDS
The Butterfly Art Collective recognizes that vital, lasting change requires both grassroots mobilization and policy momentum. Our alliance with GIFFORDS champions school safety legislation and community violence intervention (CVI) programs to safeguard citizens from this uniquely American crisis. When we unite behind a common cause, lawmakers respond to this collective voice, transforming public sentiment into impactful policy reform.
Founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who survived a 2011 assassination attempt while meeting with constituents, GIFFORDS works at federal, state, and local levels to advance policies to save lives. Their approach brings together diverse voices—including gun owners, veterans, law enforcement, and community leaders—to shift conversation from divisiveness to collaborative problem-solving. They advocate for solutions that respect Second Amendment rights while prioritizing community safety.
Education
SANDY HOOK PROMISE
We are dedicated to empowering the next generation with a campaign that transcends art. Beyond the passive clicks of social media and well before they reach voting age, Resilience teaches children they possess meaningful agency now. By fostering civic literacy today, we are nurturing the active citizens and leaders of tomorrow, developing their confidence, critical thinking, and commitment to remain civically engaged throughout their lives. We have found no organization that leads this charge quite like Sandy Hook Promise.
Sandy Hook Promise supports schools, districts, state education agencies, and youth-serving organizations across the United States with practical, easy-to-implement programs that align with character education, bullying prevention, social emotional learning (SEL), and much more. Their comprehensive suite of violence prevention programs educates and empowers students, educators, families and caregivers to play an active role in ending school shootings and other forms of violence.

Collective Philanthropy
We believe that transformation emerges through active community participation. The Butterfly Art Collective salutes local grassroots organizations that employ organic outreach strategies to address gun safety in their communities. This type of engagement finds common ground among varied perspectives and acknowledges that community safety is a shared value regardless of political affiliation.
Collective philanthropy has a similar approach. Instead of solely relying on the efforts of individuals, it works to include support from diverse financial means. When supporters like you join our Resilience collective through your time, voices, and art purchases, you amplify our partnerships while strengthening grassroots efforts nationwide.
