01What it does

What People Empowered and Communities Enhanc does

Mission

Peace nw believes that healthy interdependence on one another is required for individuals and hence, the community to be healthy and whole. Peace sees this occurring through accompaniment with one another on our individual journeys. While we may walk on similar journeys, we acknowledge that each person's experience and pathway to this journey has been different. It is only through respect and grace that true understanding and equity can occur for everyone. Our goal is to assist others in building up their own resiliency. Peace serves others through integrity and love, we rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who are weeping. We guide those who may not know the way and assist with challenges where we can, finding joy in the middle of it all, and remembering to show gratitude for each experience that is brought before us. This is how we hope to grow our beloved community, resulting in families/individuals experiencing more peace in their life.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $269 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.
