The group known as Iowans for the Prevention of Gun Violence has closed up shop, citing a loss of funding. According to Director Rex Honey,
There was a grant with the Joyce foundation for a period of close to a decade from the mid 90s well into this decade, and that funding did end. That meant we could no longer hire staff, so everything was done on a volunteer basis.
The Joyce Foundation provided IPGV with $400,000 in grants in 2003, but as of 2007, their net income was only $13,927 (pdf). They also received funds from the Freedom States Alliance, a major Joyce beneficiary.
