Hal Gessner's Fundraiser
The rising levels of conflict, both locally and nationally, have brought us to an inflection point. The New York Peace Institute is celebrating 10 years of ground level work helping communities and organizations resolve disputes.
Please join us in our continuing efforts to lower the heat. You can make a difference.
We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
Our 2021 PeaceRaiser is called Peace X Piece, so named because to really provide critical conflict resolution and restorative justice services to New Yorkers, we have to do it one dispute, one community, one organization at a time. And this is why your help is so crucial.
There are many ways to give.
