Citizen is the No. 1 public safety app in the U.S., with a mission to make the world a safer place. In addition to serving millions of individuals, Citizen Enterprise delivers real-time situational intelligence to organizations, cities, and teams that need to make fast, informed decisions when it matters most.
Citizen provides 911 alerts so people can use their phones to keep themselves, and the people and places they love, safe. Citizen has notified people to evacuate burning buildings, deterred school buses from nearby terrorist attacks, and led to the rescue of kidnapped children and missing people.
Citizen’s alerts are accompanied by live stories, real-time updates, and user-generated content so app users never have to wonder why there are helicopters overhead or fire engines flying by. By broadcasting from the scene of an incident, communicating with one another, and reading live updates, communities are empowered by Citizen. We act fast, break news, and give people the immediate information they need to stay safe.
Citizen Enterprise extends real-time awareness to organizations, offering advanced incident categorization, configurable alerts, and city-wide visibility to support public safety teams, corporate security, real estate operators, event organizers, and municipalities. The platform enables organizations to detect risks earlier, reduce noise, and respond with confidence by utilizing live, verified incident data.
Our flagship paid product, Citizen Premium, currently unlocks 5 new features, including the powerful ability to listen to police and fire radios, unlock past incidents, create alert zones, view nearby registered offenders, and family plan to share your subscription with up to five people at no additional cost.
Citizen is backed by 8VC, Founders Fund, Goodwater Capital, and Greycroft and has raised tens of millions in VC funding.

For a young child, nothing can replace the loss of a mother or father. At Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, we work to give those families hope and opportunity – especially the opportunity that comes with a college education. That’s where we – and you – come in. Together, we bridge the gap between existing sources of grants and scholarships and the total cost of college.
At Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, our passion is to raise awareness around the country, and to rally support for our promise of making college a reality for those who have suffered the ultimate loss. Not only is a college education crucial to success today, but the entire college experience can teach students valuable life lessons, aid in maturity and introduce them to people who can influence their lives forever. By providing scholarships and long-term educational counseling to their children, we honor the lives of those men and women who gave their lives for our country.

Located in 34 cities across 5 countries (the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico) Covenant House provides shelter, food, medical and mental health care, crisis intervention, educational and vocational services, and an array of supportive services to youth facing homelessness regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The Covenant House mission is centered and built on community, where youth, staff, volunteers, and partners love one another unconditionally, respect each other absolutely, and dedicate ourselves to a covenant of compassion and hope.
