Support Our Work
Invest in the Foundations of Peace
In a world where thousands of peace organizations operate without shared conceptual foundations, IGP provides the intellectual infrastructure that enables coordination. Your support helps transform fragmented global efforts into coherent peacecraft.
Why Now
The peace field invests billions annually, yet lacks agreement on what peace actually is. Organizations work from incompatible assumptions. Efforts duplicate rather than compound. Progress remains unmeasurable and reversible.
This fragmentation isn't a failure of commitment—it's a failure of foundations. After a century of building peace institutions, the field still operates without a unified theory of change. We are still trying to build peace without understanding it.
IGP addresses this structural gap by developing the frameworks that explore what peace is and show how all peace work connects.
