Philanthropy for a safe, healthy, and just world

Based on a 2019 survey of 823 CSOs, this report reveals that less than 1% of philanthropic grants support peacebuilding, with only 18% of respondents considering it "very important. " However, 57% highlight resilience and stable societies as key. The findings suggest a broader societal embrace of social justice and human rights frameworks over explicit peace agendas, prompting funders to rethink priorities. The report encourages a re-evaluation of philanthropic strategies to more effectively address underlying issues contributing to instability and conflict.
