Projects for Peace is a global program that partners with educational institutions to identify and support young peacebuilders.
Each year, we grant $1.25 million to student leaders who are developing innovative, community-centered, and scalable responses to the world’s most pressing issues.

Projects
Are you a Peacebuilder?
Since our founding by Kathryn W. Davis in 2007, Projects for Peace has sought “movers and shakers” on college campuses who are ready to dedicate a summer to their vision for peace.
Successful Projects for Peace grantees take time to consider what peace could look like and how they might meaningfully contribute.
They also have a deep appreciation for the context, communities, and/or cultures where the project takes place.
