Who We Are

  • The Campaign for Gambling-Free Kids is a project of Stop Predatory Gambling.
  • A 501c3 non-profit based in Washington, DC, we are a national advocacy network of individuals and partner groups with members in all 50 states.
  • We are one of the most diverse organizations in the United States, one in which citizens of all political stripes and life circumstances, from every corner of the country, work side-by-side.
  • Our funding comes from the selfless giving of every member of our national board; individual donations from hundreds of concerned citizens as well as people with the lived experience of predatory gambling from across the entire United States; gifts from a few smaller foundations; and support from members belonging to every major faith group in the country. We don’t accept funding from commercialized gambling interests.
