What is Project Forgive's history? How did you get started?

When Gary Weinstein lost his entire family to a drunk driver, Dr. Shawne Duperon produced a little 5-minute video that went viral. The compelling story of Gary’s journey of forgiving the unforgivable touched millions.

A twist in the circumstances generated global media attention. Documentarian Dr Shawne was not only a dear family friend of the Weinstein family, she was also a dear family friend of the man who caused the deaths.

The unprecedented response was the catalyst to start the Project Forgive Foundation in 2014. It became apparent that the world was ready for an authentic conversation on forgiveness, one of inclusion that crosses gender, racial, religious, and political boundaries.

Is Project Forgive affiliated with a religious or political organization?

We are not affiliated, involved or related to any religious sect or political group. Project Forgive is a non-sectarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization.
