As a recurring donor, a PeaceLeader, you sustain the work of PPF throughout the year. Bless you!
Your recurring gift means so much to our shared work. Even amid the global pandemic, our work for gun violence prevention, accompaniment of partners in Mexico and Colombia, fossil fuel divestment, and more continues, albeit in new ways. Let others know you’ve joined us using the hashtag #presbypeaceleader.
PPF’s entire budget is approximately $200,000. We are committed never to borrow to meet our needs, to live as simply as possible, and to be totally transparent about the way that every dollar you give is spent. Please help us to build an authentically Christian, nonviolent movement that will transform our church — and through the church — the world.
In 2006, hundreds of PPF supporters launched a Presbyterian Peace Fellowship Endowment Fund to generate funds for nonviolence in perpetuity. Why? Because, as followers of the Prince of Peace, this is the legacy we want to create together. Through all time and all places, we are among the ordinary people who are united in the great human project of peace. The peacemakers of the future will need financial resources for this work. We are in this together.
So there are two ways to support PPF’s work:
An endowment fund is a way for us to pool our resources and invest them so that the interest income from the fund will provide money for peace action every year, year after year. Currently, PPF’s annual action budget receives about $30,000 from the endowment fund each year. This is a significant portion of PPF’s budget. The fund is overseen by a PPF Endowment Fund Committee and is invested at the socially-responsible New Covenant Funds of the Presbyterian Foundation.
We also use our endowment fund as a witness for peacemaking. PPF’s endowment fund is Fossil-Free and Occupation-Free. Because Climate Change will be the biggest impact on human war and violence ever known, we have elected to not profit any further from the desecration of creation caused by fossil fuels. We also refrain from investments with about 20 companies that enable or profit from the illegal military occupation of the Palestinian territory by the nation of Israel. When those companies move away from these activities, we lift our investment restriction. As with all other investments at the New Covenant Funds, we do not invest in weapons, guns, tobacco, gambling and companies with human rights violations.
All gifts to the PPF endowment fund are tax-deductible. Through generous pledges, gifts and covenants to remember PPF in wills and planned giving, we have received the legacy of endowment gifts from $1 to $50,000. Gifts of all amounts are needed. We add up.
How about you? What is your legacy?

Our partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Colombia is nonviolent direct action at its best. Help us to recruit, train and support Presbyterians like you from the U.S. who raise their own support to volunteer to “see and be seen” in the midst of the violence of Colombia. Our accompaniment is built on Paul’s reflection of 2 Corinthians that we will stand clearly for life even in the midst of great affliction. Where are we as people of privilege prepared to take risks because of the faith that we profess as followers of Jesus? Find out more about how you can be a PPF Accompanier!

Sometimes donors approach us with a desire to give to support some particular project that we may not already be involved in. We are grateful for the opportunity to “think outside the box” and ask only that you be in touch with us before making a gift so that we can determine together whether your interest fits our mission and we have the capacity to carry out the proposed work.
