The Violence Prevention Institute collaborates with the broader New Orleans area community to examine and address systemic and structural disparities that are the root causes of violence. This requires committed and compassionate staff and faculty, publicly accessible programming, wide dissemination of research, and educational supports for students and those working to help everyone thrive. You can support these important endeavors by donating to VPI.

Your gift is vital to making VPI's efforts scalable, adaptable, and sustainable. Whether you donate $25 or $25,000, every donation helps strengthen our foundation, engage with the community, turn theory into practice, and advance our mission to address the complex issue of violence.

You can expect VPI to use your funds purposefully as part of youth outreach, free training in evidence-based, healing-centered violence prevention strategies, undergraduate and graduate student stipends, knowledge generation that values community insight and collaboration, public events that build connection and cohesion, and other information and resources that provide access and opportunity for a world free from violence.

We appreciate your involvement in our work in any way and hope you'll consider a financial contribution to support well-being and growth for all.
