About Community Peace
Ten Years of Community Peace
(pdf document)
What happens to community when trust is lost … in each other, in institutions, in the common good? What is lost to our society when every resident is a possible victim and very neighbor a potential perpetrator of violence? How can communities take important steps to reduce violence and promote peace? How does the entire society benefit when community peace is achieved? These are the fundamental questions of the violence prevention movement, a movement that the Institute for Community Peace has led for more than a decade.
About Us
The Institute for Community Peace is a private, non-profit organization with 501(c) 3 status. It was founded as the National Funding Collaborative on Violence Prevention by private and public grantmakers in 1994 to bring a primary prevention focus to efforts to end violence. Its name was changed in 2003 to reflect a broader mission focusing on preventing violence and promoting peace. ICP is not a grantmaker or funding organization. The organization accepts donations and all contributions are tax-deductible.
