Donations

"Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another.  If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large."

IPP is a tax-exempt (501c3) non-profit community organization, supported by the affectionate generosity of it's donors. It's not easy to continue to find funding for working inside a prison; most people don't have a clear picture of the kind of service that IPP provides within the walls. We are reaching out to everyone we know to ask for financial support. If you wish to contribute or know of someone that would like to help we would love to hear from you.

THE MATH. Each week, we hold 20 two-hour classes reaching 300 prisoners. In 2007, we  delivered over 26,000 instructional hours, an incredible return on every dollar donated to us – under nine dollars for each individual class hour.

Ø       For a donation of $216 - one gang member can study violence prevention for a full three month course.

Ø       For a donation of $864 - a husband and father of three can attend a class on substance abuse recovery for one full year.

Ø       For a donation of $1,620 - 15 students can study to become violence prevention facilitators for an entire quarter.

Ø       For a donation of $2,400 - 10 offenders of severe crimes can confront their past and prepare for 6 months to meet with a panel of victims for dialogue.

Ø       For a donation of $6,480 - 15 students can attend class for a whole year.

Ø       For a donation of $20,000 – one of our programs can be documented in a training manual, so that our work can be taught to prison staff where there currently are no rehabilitation programs.

Thank you! We appreciate especially your choice to want to be awake and care about the complex issue of incarceration and the role of rehabilitation for California's large, multi-ethnic population of inmates and their families. Please imagine them standing behind us as we all offer our gratitude to you.
