DC IMPACT is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  No one is profiting from these self-defense classes except the students!

• In 1989, tuition for the Basics class was $650, where it stayed for many years. Tuition is actually lower now than it was 20 years ago despite rising costs.

• DC IMPACT is run on an operating budget of $19,000 per year.  Carol Middleton, Founder, Director and Senior Instructor does not draw any salary.  Other instructors volunteer some or all of their time. All assistants and video camera operators are volunteers.

All donations are tax-deductible and VERY appreciated.  You may make a small monthly donation if that is easier for you than a lump sum donation.
