Mission
Stop Predatory Gambling Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit based in Washington, D.C. made up of citizens from diverse backgrounds, religious faiths, political convictions, and life circumstances. Our mission is to place a national spotlight on why it is time for government to end its failed policy of predatory gambling.
History
The roots of the movement began forming in the early 1990’s as state and community leaders challenged efforts to bring commercially exploitive forms of gambling into their communities. Tom Grey, a Rockford, Illinois resident who fought against a proposed casino in his community, emerged as a leader for the movement representing a diverse national coalition of groups and individuals.
As the movement continued to grow, Stop Predatory Gambling Foundation was formed in 2008. We are the most diverse movement in the nation, an affirmation that most Americans share basic core principles and values regardless of their position along the political spectrum.
