Bloody wars, mushroom clouds, collapsed skyscrapers, vulnerable populations – these are part of the human condition in today's violent world.
But there is cause for hope. Millions of people are working for peace. Global policy and service networks have emerged as transnational problem solvers. International institutions to provide peace and security for all people are gaining capacity and effectiveness.
Philanthropy has a critical role to play in bringing about a more peaceful world. The Peace and Security Funders Group is a network of foundation staff, trustees, and philanthropists committed to doing everything they can to promote international peace and security. Together we are greater than the sum of our parts.

A NEW HOME FOR PSFG
As of July 1, PSFG will become a project of the Fund for
Constitutional Government. The FCG is a
publicly funded foundation based in Washington, which has a history of serving
as a fiscal sponsor for many different organizations. We are very pleased about this coming
transition and look forward to a productive partnership.
Since
our founding in 1999, we have been under the fiscal sponsorship of the Ploughshares
Fund. We are tremendously grateful to
the Fund, which has been a most gracious and compatible host for all these
years.
