Support Essential Partners
All of our efforts are made possible by the generosity of individual donors. Download our 2024 Annual Report or our Winter 2025 Donor Newsletter to learn more about the impact your donation will make in the world. In particular, donor generosity is the engine behind our free resources—which reached more than half a million people this year—as well as our training scholarships, our emergency response capacity, and ongoing support for our global Community of Practice.
Thank you for helping to create a world of thriving communities strengthened by difference, connected by trust.
