Our why...

Gabby went missing while on a cross-country road trip that included visits to many of our national parks. After an intensive search it was discovered that Gabby’s life was tragically cut short. In the wake of Gabby's murder, Gabby Petito Foundation was born. Our Foundation is rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in our communities. We are honored to be assisting organizations that provide immediate tangible help to survivors of domestic violence, and we are proud to work with organizations that assist with locating missing persons. With a variety of big ideas and goals, it is our hope to be at the forefront of positive and pro-active change with awareness, prevention strategies, and education.

We are proud of our efforts and could not have done this work without ongoing support we have received from around the world which is appreciated more than people could ever understand. Together, we can make a difference, save lives, bring missing loved ones home, and hopefully prevent tragedies like Gabby's from happening to anyone else.

We wish to turn our personal tragedy into a positive. It is our hope that Gabby’s foundation will bring these important issues into the forefront of the public eye to the benefit of all our communities.

What we have done so far:

Donated $145,000 to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, with the majority of the funds supporting their campaign to hire more advocates to respond to calls and chats.
Awarded $6,000 in scholarships to students pursuing education in the arts, with two high school graduates each receiving a $1,000 scholarship annually.
Provided over $50,000 in grants to multiple domestic violence agencies, directly supporting services for survivors.
Contributed over $20,000 to Missing Person organizations supporting their tireless efforts in locating missing and endangered persons.
Donated over $20,000 to Teton County Search and Rescue, funding essential supplies, including a new snowmobile.
Raised awareness across the country at domestic violence agencies and crime victims' organizations, while also advocating for legislative changes to address domestic violence and missing persons issues.
Created a domestic violence first responder training program to bring to responders around the country.

***We are developing a youth prevention education program designed to be accessible to every child, empowering them with the tools and knowledge to prevent violence and foster safe, healthy relationships.***

Your generous contribution will help us to aid survivors of domestic violence, bring prevention education into the lives of our youth, help aid search & rescue teams and missing person groups, provide scholarships, and so much more!

Thank you in advance for your support.
