Help us fund the next project.

Citizens of Our Planet is funded principally by Chili Piper. Gifts from outside do one thing: they increase how much we can grant to people teaching Nonviolent Communication to educators and students.

Where it goes

What your gift funds.

Nonviolence in education

Grants to organizations bringing Nonviolent Communication to teachers, schools and students. Currently France, with Spain and Colombia committed for 2026.

Small grants, chosen carefully

We are a small foundation that funds a small number of projects well. Every grantee is checked for charitable status and reports back on what the money did.

Published in full

Every grant we have ever made is listed on this site, with the amount and the date. Nothing is hidden in a summary.

Tax

The details your accountant will want.

Legal name
Citizens of Our Planet, a Chili Piper Foundation
EIN
87-1179310
Status
501(c)(3) private foundation
Determination
IRS letter dated 29 March 2022, exemption effective 26 May 2021

Contributions are deductible under IRC Section 170, and the foundation is qualified to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers and gifts under Sections 2055, 2106 and 2522.

One thing worth knowing: because we are a private foundation rather than a public charity, the deduction limits on your gift are different from the ones you may be used to. Your tax advisor can tell you what that means in your situation. We are a foundation, not an advisor, so we will not guess on your behalf.
