# A home for people touched by the 'Language of Life'
Before you discover what membership offers
# ##### We'd like to *acknowledge* what might have brought you here.
Perhaps you want ***to give back to what has given to you***.
Perhaps you've been practicing NVC and want ***to be connected to something larger***.
Perhaps you want ***access to learning resources or NVC community***.
Maybe you're curious about what membership even means.
**Whatever brought you here, you are warmly welcome.**
What membership means
"We are united by the idea of being the change we wish to see in this world. Our revolution is knowing conflict is a rich source of meaningful connection."β Mark Britton, CNVC Membership Coordinator
# # More than access.
An affiliation.
Supporting Membership is how you officially affiliate yourself with CNVC - the global home of Nonviolent Communication, founded by [Marshall Rosenberg](https://www.cnvc.org/about/founder) in 1984.
**It is not a subscription. It is a yearly renewal of your commitment to a shared vision**: a world where everyoneβs needs matter and people use their power to foster connection, build collaborative communities, and address differences peacefully.
What you receive
# ##### *The gifts of membership.*

A different relationship with money
# ##### *You choose what you contribute.*
We recognise that peopleβs access to resources varies enormously across the world and often changes through time.
So, **we invite you to choose a yearly contribution that cares for your needs, and also cares for CNVC's organizational needs**. This could be $1, or it could be more.
I'm not sure what to contribute, give me guidance
**π Annual Membership Contributions**
We want membership to be **equitable and accessible** for everyone, no matter your income or where you live.
**π‘ How it works**
We invite you to make a **yearly contribution** of **0.1% of your household income**.
π To calculate:
**Your yearly income Γ 0.001 = Your contribution**
For example:
- If your yearly household income is **$30,000**
β **$30 per year**

Tell me more about CNVC's organisational needs ποΈ **How Your Contribution Supports CNVC**
Membership contributions are one part of the income that sustains [CNVCβs global mission](https://www.cnvc.org/about#:~:text=We%20unite%20and%20support%20people%20who%20learn%2C%20share%2C%20and%20apply%20Nonviolent%20Communication%20around%20the%20world.).
π± **What your contribution makes possible**
Your support helps us maintain the Global Home platform, create accessible learning resources, offer online events for Supporting Members, and fund the staff and systems that keep our organisation healthy and responsive.
π **Shared care for a global community**
Alongside training fees and donations, membership contributions help CNVC continue nurturing a worldwide network dedicated to living and sharing Nonviolent Communication. Every amount - whether small or large - helps us hold this work with integrity and long-term sustainability.
π **Why it matters**
By contributing in a way that cares for both your needs and ours, you help make NVC accessible across different regions, languages, and economic realities.

The suggested approach: **0.1% of your total household income.** This makes membership equitable - a similar gesture of care regardless of where you live.

Honest answers
# ##### *Still questions in mind?*
Is there a minimum contribution? There is certainly no enforced minimum. CNVC asks you to reflect on 0.1% of your household income as a guide - but any contribution is welcome, and you may also choose to simply [donate without becoming a member](https://www.cnvc.org/donate).
How does renewal work? Membership is annual. You'll receive a renewal invitation each year. CNVC frames renewal as "an annual renewal of your commitment" rather than an automatic charge - it's a conscious choice, made each year.
What happens next? As one of CNVC's Supporting Members, we are eager to get your [feedback](https://www.cnvc.org/membership/supporting-members-survey) about how this program is working.
Excitingly, our member's sharing platform - Global Home - is open and awaiting you. This can be a source of resources and connection for all thigns NVC,
In addition, periodically, we will email you to let you know about new videos available in the video library.
If you have any questions or feedback, please email me, Mark, at .
Where does my money go? Your money helps CNVC to sustain serving as a [global multilingual Nonviolent Communication hub](https://www.cnvc.org/about/cnvc).

As long as you have been a Supporting Member for more than 6 months before the IIT start date, you are eligible for your member discount on tuition.

Step 2 includes the oppportunity to share that you are a CNVC Supporting Member, so we can confirm and apply your discount.
\*discount does not apply to the accommodation/food part of the IIT experience
What if I can't afford it right now? Many CNVC resources - the Feelings & Needs Inventory, Marshall Rosenberg's recordings, practice groups - are free and always will be. If membership isn't accessible right now, that's okay. The door remains open, and free resources remain available. You are welcome here regardless.
Does membership make me a voting member? Supporting Members do not vote in Board Elections. Voting membership requires specific qualifying criteria. Supporting Membership offers all other benefits and is the appropriate path for most practitioners, learners, and trainers.

Can I volunteer for CNVC? We celebrate people who contribute to our mission of creating a world in which everyoneβs needs matter, and are met through compassionate giving.
Please fill out [this form](https://www.cnvc.org/forms/volunteering) to let us know about your skills, experience, and what you might enjoy doing as a volunteer.
What's the difference between membership and a donation? A donation supports CNVC's mission financially with no formal affiliation. Supporting Membership additionally grants you access to the Global Home platform, the video library, exclusive events, and training discounts - and officially affiliates you with CNVC as a Supporting Member.
