Ballmer crafts new funding strategy to confront gun violence
Gun violence in America is a public health crisis that is worsening with pandemic-like speed. So says Steve Ballmer, the billionaire philanthropist whose nonprofit is devising a new remedy to address it.

To help those communities, the Ballmer Group donated $18 million to the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention, the Community Based Public Safety Collective, Cities United and the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform to jointly establish community-based solutions to gun violence.

With their donations through the Ballmer Group, Ballmer noted that he and his wife, Connie, usually focus on economic mobility. But he said they have come to recognize that gun violence itself hinders economic gains because it scars entire communities, psychologically as well as physically.
“We focus on the concept that everybody should have an opportunity to achieve what they want to achieve economically,” said Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO and current chairman of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team. “That is certainly not the case today. If you look at that data, it is particularly stark for African American males. It’s just not right. It’s not fair.”

Well, that does improve my opinion of Steve Ballmer.
