Peace Development Fund
Category: Peace
DescriptionThe Fund, founded in 1981, looks at peace as not just the absence of war or militarism, but as the presence of equitable relationships among people, nations, and the environment. The Fund believes that lasting change will come only when a large number of people are well informed and empowered to make change. The Fund works to build the capacity of community-based organizations through grants, training, and other resources as partners in human rights and social justice movements. Priority is given to grassroots groups organizing in their communities; organizations of oppressed and marginalized people; those not served or funded by mainstream philanthrophy (both nationally and internationally); and those most adversely impacted by systemic forms of injustice and oppression (primarily, but not exclusively communities of color). Also of interest are intermediaries, coalitions, and capacity builders and organizations led by the people most adversely affected by conditions, issues, or systems. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
