What The Fund for Peace Inc does
Mission
Building bridges across diverse sectors, and developing innovative technologies and tools for policy makers.

Its objective is to create practical tools and approaches for conflict mitigation that are useful to decision- makers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
International organizations, governments/multilateral institutions and corporations, & multistakeholder - the fund for peace was an early leader in cross-sectional collaboration in attempting to better understand and address human rights challenges in regard to the deployment of security forces in the oil, gas, and mining industries. This began with the human rights and business roundtable, a multistakeholder initiative geared towards better echange and communication between companies, civil society, and governments in attempting to fund solutions to pressing human rights concerns. The roundtable, which celebrates its 27th anniversary this year, contributed to the voluntary principles on security and human rights, an international initiative in which ffp continues to lead civil society in creating practical approaches to integrating security and human rights opolicy and practice into company operations.

The index is then used by policy makers, practitioners, academics, civil society organizations, and journalists in making better informed decisions with regard to political risk and resourcing humanitarian development. Ffp also provides training on these methodologies to practitioners from government, multilateral institutions, and civil society who in turn improve their own assessment capacity and understanding of conflict dynamics. At a national level, ffp trains local civil society groups on understanding and reporting conflict, and with that knowledge, builds local networks that then focus on mitigating conflict when it erupts. These programs also attempt to harness the latest…

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $1.0M to $625k (−38%).
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: 2017 28% · 2018 12% · 2019 16% · 2020 56% · 2021 71% · 2022 57% · 2023 44% · 2024 27%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
98% of THE FUND FOR PEACE INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
