Safer Fayetteville began with a simple belief: every child deserves to feel safe at school. In 2023, a group of Fayetteville Arkansas parents came together after the Covenant Nashville Shooting wanting to put anxieties into motion. What started as a grassroots effort quickly grew into a community-wide movement.

Through generous donations and strong partnerships, we’ve already helped bring critical safety measures to Fayetteville Public Schools, including a $207,000 investment in CENTEGIX CrisisAlert badges for every staff member in the district.

Now operating as an independent 501(c)(3), Safer Fayetteville is committed to building on this momentum. From innovative safety technology to awareness campaigns and family outreach, we’re working to create a culture of protection and preparedness in every Fayetteville school.

Together, with parents, educators, and neighbors, we are making Fayetteville a place where children can learn, grow, and thrive safely.

What we’ve accomplished together:

In just three years, Safer Fayetteville has funded over $325,000 in safety and security improvements, all through private donations and community support. This impact is measured not just in dollars, but in peace of mind and the belief that we’re protecting those who matter most.
