From Crisis to Catalyst
Yes, we lost critical U.S. government funding. $23 million disappeared overnight, threatening programs in places where lives depend on our peacebuilding work. But instead of retreating, we’re reimagining.
Search for Common Ground is launching three major pivots to meet this moment:
- 🧭 A Peacebuilding Leadership Academy: Equipping leaders across sectors to transform conflict into cooperation while generating revenue to fund the work on the ground.
- 🌍 A New Regional Hub Model: Streamlining operations to empower local peacebuilders with more flexibility and support.
- 🤝 A Global Coalition for Peace: Expanding partnerships beyond Western governments, to countries with a deep stake in preventing violence.
What’s at Stake
When conflict threatens lives from Afghanistan to Israel and Palestine to the United States, Search shows up. Our teams de-escalate tensions, prevent violence, and build trust where others can’t.
These are the efforts now at risk—but also where your gift can make the biggest difference.
