“With financial support from PDF, we organized large-scale teach-ins and demonstrations alongside labor unions, trade-displaced workers, diaspora communities, international solidarity activists, digital privacy activists, public health groups, and climate activists to halt a trade deal that would have had disastrous impacts on jobs, wages, labor rights, climate action, consumer privacy and monopoly power” -Julie Bouanna, Executive Director, Washington Fair Trade Education Coalition
The Peace Development Fund is more than a grantmaker: our model of philanthropy involves direct funding, advocacy where appropriate and partnerships built around mutual respect, sharing of resources, and transparency of planning and decision-making. We endeavor to be a key “go-to” foundation on issues of peace, human rights, social justice and environmental protection. We work to counter-balance dominant power structures by moving resources and sharing decision-making with activist groups and communities. Learn more…
We are thrilled to announce our Land Justice Fund, honoring the work of our former ED Paul Haible!
