The Women's Peacepower Foundation makes grants to grassroots projects that are working to impact issues of violence against women and their children. Peacepower awards projects that seek to reverse the forces that entrap women and their families into the spiral of pain and fear. We support programs that provide opportunities to speak out against the violence or create new solutions in helping those struggling with this shameful reality. Teaching Peace What should be as natural as breathing, unfortunately must be taught. Women and their children must have the opportunity to live in a violence-free world, with enough food to eat, and adequate shelter.
Women deserve meaningful work that pays a living wage.
Peacepower sponsors tours to other geographic locations such as Central America, Russia and Ireland. The purpose is to bring together women working in the field of family violence, exchange information and ideas and work collectively on projects to promote peace. Peacepower sponsors annual Renewal Retreats for advocates working in the field of family violence. Peacepower Media Awards are awarded annually to honor collaborative efforts associated with media projects for their outstanding efforts to promote peace in the lives of abused women and their families through the media. We ask for your continued support and hope you share in our excitement at our growth.
