$10,000 Grant for Safer Communities

|
Moving Forward!
Thanks to your generous support, we have raised over $30,000, giving us enough to cover our operating costs for the next few months. Our next goal is to move forward with our plan of creating a comprehensive marketing strategy (including hiring a marketing director, creating outreach materials and developing a better online presence). Click here if you would like to contribute to our efforts to make NVC more accessible to as many people as possible.
In addition to your donations, for the third year in a row we received a $10,000 grant from van Loben Sels/Rembe Rock for BayNVC's Safer Communities Program (which takes NVC into prisons and to parolees). Last year we used this grant money to help pay for trainings with the prison guards in the mental health section of the Sonoma County Jail. This year the funds will be used for trainings with women incarcerated by the Sonoma Count y Sheriff's department. The money from this grant only covers a small percentage of the actual costs of running this program. DONATE
With excitement about the possibilities,
Dorrit Geshuri, Executive Director
Bay Area Nonviolent Communication

At that moment, keeping the computer off seemed very important to me. My son gazed at me with an unfamiliar look in his eyes. I imagined he was thinking to himself that he really wanted to stop, as I had asked, yet he seemed compelled to move forward anyway. While still looking at me, his little body catapulted itself toward the computer, his fingers reaching out to turn it on. To my utter astonishment, my body, too, lunged forward, my arms circled my son's body as I pulled him away from the now buzzing computer, and I heard myself yelling, "NO!" Read Full Article
