Last year, thanks to our incredible community, we built a solid foundation of stability and resilience. Now, our roots are strong, and we are ready to grow.

But our roots are only as strong as our reach. To meet the rising demand for our classes, we need to invest in the heart of our organization: our teaching team. This summer, we are asking for your help to raise $8,000 so we can keep our foundation strong while training the next generation of IMPACT instructors.

⚡️ Your Donation Will Directly Help Us:

• Support our current teaching team by funding dedicated professional development and ongoing training.
• Train the next generation of dedicated IMPACT instructors and teaching assistants.
• Reach more students by expanding our public class offerings across the Bay Area, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to trauma-informed self-defense.
  

⚡️Our Impact So Far in 2026:

Thanks to community support, we have already:

• Served 550+ students with 200+ hours of instruction
• Offered all of our public classes on a sliding scale
  • 45% of participants enjoy free or reduced rates
• Partnered with 11 organizations to bring trauma-informed training to communities that need it most.
• Reached 11 cities, providing widespread instruction to teens, LGBTQ+ students, and community affinity groups.
  

This is what community-powered safety looks like. And we’re just getting started.
