Would you like to make a Donation?

This website is made possible by our generous private, corporate and public supporters. We invite you to help the Far From The Heart anti-violence campaign with your own donation.

We can’t thank you enough for your generosity! I was just reflecting on our accomplishments, on the personal stories people have told me and on the lives we’ve touched, and I wanted to let you know how powerfully moving and helpful the experience has been to so many people – be it the play, or the film. Far From The Heart would not be possible without your commitment and support. Please know how much we appreciate your gift.
