The world needs more leaders working for peace and justice. Please help CJP educate, train, and nurture promising new leaders. Join us in realizing our vision to develop leaders who will create a just, peaceful and secure world.
Your gift to CJP's annual fund supports the whole of CJP (programs, faculty and student financial assistance). Partners in Peacebuilding give $1000 or more each year, and 25th Anniversary Partners give $5000 or more.
Invest in our peacebuilders by funding an endowed scholarship, which helps to make graduate peacebuilding education affordable for all our students.
Where do your peacebuilding passion and our mission meet? Let’s talk about how you can fund a project most meaningful to you, like the course on restorative justice for educators featured in Peacebuilder Magazine.
Add CJP as a beneficiary on your IRA, donor advised fund, or include us in your will.
Contact Lindsay Martin or EMU’s Development office to discuss any of these giving options.
