ThinkFirst National Injury Prevention Foundation is a nonprofit organization located in Naperville, Illinois. Founded by American neurosurgeons, ThinkFirst employs four individuals and generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue.

ThinkFirst's evidence-based programs cover a range of topics, including vehicle safety, sports safety, violence prevention, fall prevention, concussion recognition, and prevention. Their commitment extends beyond younger audiences, encompassing programs specifically tailored for older adults and adults at risk of falls.
