Partnering to Support Grassroots Change

Peace Development Fund partners with donors, families, and foundations who want their philanthropy to support grassroots movements and community-led change. For more than four decades, we have worked alongside organizers and community-based organizations advancing peace, human rights, and social justice. Through our relationships with grassroots leaders and movements across the country, we help connect donors with organizations building lasting change in their communities.

Whether you are beginning your philanthropic journey or deepening a long-standing commitment to social justice, our team can help you give in ways that are thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with your values.
