Dear Hope Seeker,

All over the world, people are choosing to hold hope—even in the darkest moments. Maybe you can’t hold hands with those standing in the midst of violent conflict in Sudan, Syria, Israel and Palestine but you can hold hope for them.

Hope is not passive. When the world feels overwhelming, when headlines flood with despair, you refuse apathy with every choice to act in the belief that a safer world is possible.

Our teams refuse to give up hope as they work on the front lines every day—in conflict zones, in divided communities, in places others have abandoned. With your support, they have the resources they need to make peace not only possible, but inevitable.
Your hope matters. We have seen hope take root in people. It lives in the hands, voices, and hearts of those we serve at Search for Common Ground.
One person holding hope can ripple outward, shifting entire communities. With your support, they don’t have to hold it alone.
This season, don’t just wish for peace—hold hope with us.

Hold hope—and see its power. Use our Impact Calculator to measure how your generosity turns into real impact for people rebuilding their lives after conflict.
