Fundraising is a critical component of any successful undertaking, and sustainable funding for the work that we do is necessary for our long-term vision and goals.
Often, people have had uncomfortable experiences being asked for money – and that results in feeling uncomfortable asking! We’d like you to consider learning the right way to ask people – in a way that is respectful, inspiring, and gives the freedom of full choice to the potential donor.
Viewing donations as investments, donors as investors, and running our non-profit as a business can flip the perception of potential donors, and encourage contributions as investments.
This is the message: The Peace Alliance is convinced that investments in peace provide a strong return. Just as has been proven in the medical field with preventive care being more cost-efficient than waiting for illness to move beyond recovery, the approaches and policies of prevention and intervention are less costly than dealing with the results of conflict that escalates to violence. Even when violence occurs, we promote proven strategies and techniques to ameliorate the effects of violence that are less costly than traditional methods.
Creating peace in our society is about changing mindsets, attitudes and infrastructures – which will inevitably lead to peace-supporting legislation and systems that will replace old ones.
As we develop a supportive network of citizens around the US for the peacebuilding initiatives, one way that everyone can help is to contribute their own financial gift, at whatever level works best for them.
Remember that some of the changes we are working for could take many years to fully come to fruition. A financial base will give this us the persistence required for success.

Fundraising is about sharing our dream for a more peaceful world. It is about finding those with whom we share this dream and invite them to own it and invest in it with their time, energy, reputation and money.
We can create the world we want with our money. Peace is for sale. The question is “How much of it are we prepared to buy?”
Become a monthly Peace Partner, investing a fixed amount of money per month that is both fiscally responsible and makes you happy, to support The Peace Alliance in our legislative and educational grassroots work towards peace. Our network of Peace Partner investors are the sustainable, financial base that is critical to our success.
We have a fundraising platform upon which you may build a personal fundraiser. Instead of birthday, holiday or other gifts, request that your friends donate to The Peace Alliance, and set a goal of $500, $1000, $5000 — any amount you choose! Please contact us at [email protected] for help in mounting your fundraising page!
