THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Community Organizing/Development, Social/Environmental Justice, Youth Leadership
Deadline: Jan. 31, 2025
“The Peace Development Fund (PDF) makes grants to community-based organizations working for social justice. We believe that the change in values needed to establish a more just and peaceful world can come about only if it is strongly rooted in local communities that value the importance of building movements to create systemic social change. These are communities that view everyone, especially young people, as a vital force in the trans- formation of society. We recognize young people’s ability to reshape our society, not only politically, but also spiritually and culturally. The Fund is committed to supporting organizations and projects that recognize that peace will never be sustained unless it is based on justice. We understand peace to be a consequence of equitable relationships—with our fellow human beings and with the natural environment of which we are a part and on which we depend.
