The Pollination Project Partnership

The Pollination Project accepts Peace Practice grant applications from individuals who completed the virtual 6-month peace leadership curriculum of the Peace Practice Alliance program through the Euphrates Institute. These grants provide seed funding for projects that further peace leadership in action in one’s community.

Peace leadership in action holds awareness and integrates practices of personal, interpersonal, community, and global peace. Individuals who practice peace leadership acknowledge the intersections and importance of the model from personal to global peace, and utilize tools and resources to lead initiatives through a peace lens. Peace Practice grants support projects that work to end violence in all forms and promote positive peace.

Individuals may work on projects as individuals, with informally organized groups and organizations, and through formally registered or incorporated not-for-profit organizations and can be based anywhere in the world.
