Help make peacebuilding an economic priority at every level of our society—from individual to national. Join us to Invest in Peace! From July 3 to August 21, share with your friends and families the dynamic work of The Peace Alliance and invite them to join you as a monthly contributor.
Over the past two years, we’ve focused on building a strong grassroots network. We’ve been so successful that we’re actually at risk of outstripping our capacity. We certainly don’t want to slow our growth, so we must expand our focus to build the financial base that will ensure our long-term sustainability. To do so, we need your support.
With this level of dedicated, predictable funding, imagine how much more quickly we could enroll others in understanding the effectiveness of addressing root causes of violence and the need for an institutional platform for peace within the highest echelons of government. During this, our first annual donor campaign, we want to vastly increase the number of monthly donors (Peace Partners) to The Peace Alliance and we are putting our full focus on doing so within the next six weeks. Your participation, creativity and commitment will make that happen!
It's Easy to Participate
1. Become a Peace Partner
If you are not already a Peace Partner (our monthly sustaining donors), you can be your first recruit! Give monthly or quarterly, anywhere from $15 to as high as you would like. Your ongoing investment in The Peace Alliance signals your commitment to a future in which the practical programs and principles of peacebuilding are the bedrock of our personal, national and global interest and investment.

2. Invite Others to Participate
Invite your friends, families and colleagues to join our Peace Partner program (one-time donations are also gratefully welcome). It can be as simple as sharing with those you care about why you feel this work is so important and inviting them to contribute.
