Help Us Build the Future of IMI

A major platform upgrade is underway. Join us in shaping the next chapter of global mediation.

Dear friends and supporters of IMI,

At the International Mediation Institute (IMI), our vision is simple but powerful: Professional Mediation Worldwide: Promoting Consensus and Access to Justice.

Today, we invite you to help us realise a bold new chapter in that vision.

We are launching a major digital transformation to empower IMI with a modern, mobile-first, high-performance platform, one that will serve our global community of mediators, implementing organisations, policy makers, and users of mediation services better than ever before.

Our ability to support mediators and implementing organisations with high-quality profiles and user experience, as well as our potential to serve the world as a mediation resource hub is hindered by the limitations of the present website. 

This comprehensive upgrade is more than just a website refresh; it’s an investment in IMI’s future. With the rehaul we aim to:

• Significantly improve user experience, satisfaction, and interaction, making it easier for individuals to find the information and connections they need.
• Modernise the platform for scalability, allowing IMI to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of the mediation community.
  • For example, enabling connections to be established between IMI Qualified and IMI Certified Mediators via the platform, for a streamlined mentoring framework.
• Reduce high maintenance costs, allowing more resources to be directed toward IMI’s core mission and activities, such as supporting the work of the Mediation Public Policy Committee, promoting mediation ethics, and convening the community more frequently, as IMI has previously done, through ex. the Global Pound Conference series.
  

With unanimous support from the IMI Board of Directors and an initial generous €12,000 seed contribution from ADR Center, we have already embarked on this project. Now we need your support! 

Our fundraising goal is estimated at €50,000. We would value your support to bring this vision to life!

We urge you to consider making a donation to this essential project. Together, we can ensure that IMI remains a leading force in the world of mediation!

All donors and their contributions will be proudly showcased on our “Wall of Donors”—a dedicated page on our new website that celebrates the generosity of our supporters. Join us and be part of this lasting recognition!

Please write to ivana.nincic@imimediation.org to receive your special donation QR code!

Below, we’re sharing a few preview images of the new platform.

In addition to donating, we warmly invite you to join us in realising this project by providing valuable feedback and input on the improvements you would like to see on the platform:

Sincerely,
