About Uncornered
Our purpose is to eliminate violence by reducing shootings and homicides in cities.
Uncornered seeks out Core Influencers of violence at the heart of communities and offers them a different path. Leveraging a data-based model, we provide educational resources, mental health support, spiritual support and ultimately, work to transform their futures – and our cities.
The Uncornered model analyzes and drives impact on a community level, street by street and corner by corner. Data has proven that the right Core Influencers, when recruited from the right Network and provided the right support, will end street violence. Investing in the potential of the city’s most disruptive and neglected residents creates opportunity and hope for all.
Uncornered partners with organizations across the anti-violence ecosystem, from prevention and enforcement to education, training, mental health, and crisis response.
Founded in Boston in 2016, the powerful and lasting results from Uncornered have led to our expansion into Providence and Kansas City – an important step toward Uncornering cities nationwide.

Financial Approach
Because Core Influencers are at the heart of creating more peaceful cities, 84% of Uncornered expenses across Boston, Providence, and Kansas City are invested directly to the Core Influencers who are ending violence in their communities. We are grateful to our generous supporters who make this possible.
Data from Boston has shown that each Core Influencer we serve saves the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $70,000 annually in incarceration, court costs, probation, and other subsidies. This translates to a savings of $5.5 million to the city of Boston.
