What Peace Through Action USA does
Mission
Peace Through Action USA inspires and equips everyday people to increase safety, belonging, and peace in their relationships and communities by cultivating their compassion and increasing their constructive communication and conflict resolution skills. We accomplish our mission by producing events and resources for exploring civic and social concerns, promoting examples of inspiring community peacebuilders, encouraging spiritual self-care and anchoring, teaching practical peace skills, supporting personal and small group action planning for peace, bolstering community peacebuilding efforts, and advocating for a socially just society. The breadth of our mission activities situates us in the peacebuilding, public health, public safety, social health, youth development, adult learning, volunteerism and service, civic engagement, and civil and human rights fields of the U.S. social sector.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Peace Accelerators -- Peace Through Action USA's Peace Accelerators program strengthens people's ability to increase peace in their relationships and communities by building peace skills together, making action plans for change, and discovering resources that support social well-being. The program has three activities. Essential Peace Skills Trainings are intensive learning experiences focused on core communication and conflict resolution skills that people can apply across many social contexts. Participants learn, practice, and reflect through realistic scenarios. Practical Peace Solutions Sessions are brief workshops that demonstrate how constructive communication and conflict resolution skills work in real-life situations. Participants learn core techniques and practice them through structured role-plays and scenarios. Peace Through Action Meet-Ups are small-group gatherings that guide participants through action planning and discovery of social well-being resources. Participants leave with concrete steps to increase peace in their relationships and communities.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Peace Explorers -- Peace Through Action USA supported individuals in increasing peace by pointing them to practical solutions they can take within their relationships and communities to decrease social distress and increase compassion, constructive communication, and constructive conflict resolution. We suggested peace practices to individuals through a regular electronic newsletter that reached over 1900 people; by posting messages and calls for practical action on our social media channels reaching the public at large; by posting subject-specific information pages to our website, which reaches the public at large; and by offering virtual learning events available to the public at large.
$14,991 spent13% of program spendingPeace Agents -- Peace Through Action USA continued its peace agents program, which provides servant leaders to geographic communities to bolster their capacity to deliver peacebuilding activities. Peace agents lead community peace projects, which are collective impact alliances through which community members, guided by a Peace Through Action peace agent, select, organize, and deliver peacebuilding activities in their geographic areas. In 2025, we continued to demonstrate our community peace projects concept with a project in Calvert County, Maryland.

The organization over time
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $213k to $469k (+120%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 21% · 2024 12% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PEACE THROUGH ACTION USA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
