The Fund for Nonviolence cultivates and supports community based efforts to bring about social change that moves humanity towards a more just and compassionate coexistence.
Violence is the dehumanizing obstacle to human potential.
We recognize that violence can be direct or indirect, overt or built into social structures. Moreover, all forms of violence are interdependent and are best addressed in relation to one another. We believe in the transformative power of nonviolence as a means of inspiring progressive social change. This future is one of justice and peace, inseparable and for everyone. For us, the practice of nonviolence recognizes the interconnectedness of all beings, acknowledges the humanity of any opponent, and honors the spiritual dimension of human experience.
