Where Should I Start?
IPM’s Partnerships expose us to the continued global reality of racial and socioeconomic injustice. More importantly, they allow us to witness the resiliency and solidarity of communities who are committed to working together to address material poverty, environmental injustices, gender inequality, and many other disparities.
There are many ways to contribute to the success of our global community; here are just a few starting points that benefit from the international relationships IPM has fostered.
Financial Support
Direct monetary contributions are the most versatile form of support for IPM, allowing us to respond dynamically to the changing needs of our Project Partners. Donations are used to fund new and ongoing Partnerships, regional and international gatherings, technical assistance, trainings, and more.
Please consider designating your gift to our $100,000 Annual Fund Matching Gift Challenge. Learn more about this Special Appeal.
Immersion Experience Program
We believe that connections are a powerful bond that can lead to social change. Our signature Immersion Experience Program for school groups, businesses, institutions, and individuals focuses on developing those important bonds between participants and our Project Partners.
