About PSFG

Founded in 2000, the Peace and Security Funders Group (PSFG) connects and supports the global community of public, private, and operating foundations, and individual philanthropists advancing peace and security efforts in order to build a more peaceful, just, and equitable world. 

PSFG staff are experts in peace and security philanthropy. We leverage our connections in the field to deliver unmatched resources, networks, and peer learning to our members. We engage in dialogue with stakeholders outside of peace and security to help make the impact and work of our members more visible and more connected to other sectors.
