What Catalyst for Peace does

Program

  1. Catalyst for Peace (cfp) developed and ran constellating peace 2.0, a yearlong global learning process for teams of peacebuilding and development leaders from different countries around the world, including leaders from national government, civil society, funders, and academia. Multi-stakeholder teams participated from nepal, colombia, kenya, somalia, chicago, across the us, and sierra leone. We facilitated part of the constellating peace learning process through monthly virtual sessions, and in the middle of the year-long process we hosted a week-long in- person conference in sierra leone. This conference allowed delegates to have an immersive learning experience into the work of fambul tok and their partnership with the national government through the wan fambul national framework.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $50 → $170k.

1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of CATALYST FOR PEACE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 53% — diversifying over time.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
