PDF believes people with lived experience organizing communities for social and environmental justice have the expertise needed to guide our grantmaking. Each of our competitive funds has a Review Circle that brings together leaders from the fund’s major grantmaking regions to review and evaluate applications.
We’re looking for volunteers to join Reviewer Circles for our Seeding the Movement and Western Mass Transformation Funds.

PDF Supports Students' Rights to Protest
The Peace Development Fund stands in solidarity with the student protesters fighting for divestment from the arms industry and a ceasefire in the Israel/Gaza War. These non-violent demonstrations for social justice are being misconstrued and met with excessive force. We urge universities to uphold peaceful protest and free speech and call on legislators to end attempts to silence dissent. Students have long been at the forefront of social change in the US and around the world. True peace requires listening to all voices, not suppressing criticism.
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…
