Philanthropic Advising
Thoughtful Giving Grounded in Movement Partnerships
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 philanthropic advising, we help donors connect their resources with the people and movements building lasting change.
Our role is to help donors give in ways that are informed, strategic, and grounded in real relationships with communities.
How We Work With Donors
Our advising supports donors who want their giving to be thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with movements for justice. We work with donors to:
- Clarify values and priorities for giving
- Learn about grassroots organizing and emerging movements
- Identify organizations aligned with their goals
- Develop long-term giving strategies
Our approach centers learning, trust, and partnership, helping donors engage in philanthropy that strengthens community-led change.
Why Peace Development Fund
Donors who partner with PDF benefit from our:
- Deep relationships with grassroots organizations
- More than four decades of social justice grantmaking experience
- Insight into emerging movements and organizing strategies
- Administrative support that makes giving simple and effective
Donor-Advised Funds
Many donors pair philanthropic advising with a donor-advised fund at PDF. A donor-advised fund provides a flexible, tax-efficient way to organize charitable giving while our team manages administration and compliance. This is a simple and effective way to support movements for justice.
