Supporting the Safety Team

We are grateful for all the community support that we have received over the years.  This has included individual donations, corporate sponsorships and small grants.  Our team members and volunteers generously donate tons of time to the program.  However, we rely primarily on our workshop registration fees to sustain and grow our programs. This year, we have been extremely limited in our ability to offer these workshops. We appreciate all levels of support so that we can keep our program growing and moving forward.

How do donations help?

$50 funds one scholarship spot for any of our large group 2.5 hour workshops
$75 buys one kick shield or focus mitt
$150 funds a scholarship for one woman to participate in Level 1, 2 and 3
$250+ promotes research and program development
Any amount helps fund the general program, program evaluation, or administrative costs (web hosting and web revision, record keeping, sanitizing, program development, etc.)
Any amount can assist with our innovative TESD trauma recovery program that is offered free to survivors of sexual assault or interpersonal violence.
