Overview

Mission

The center for conservation peacebuilding transforms social conflict to create lasting solutions for people and wildlife.

What it reported doing in 2024

Cpeace supported two major initiatives: transforming social conflict on the albemarle peninsula, a project aimed at addressing longstanding, complex conflicts across the region, particularly those involving red wolves and natural resource management, and america's national wolf conversation, an unprecedented national dialogue to address long standing conflicts surrounding people and wolves (red, gray, and mexican). For both initiatives, cpeace provided design, preparation, and facilitation support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
