Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of this organization is to educate the public and build a working coalition to help prevent genocide, promote empowerment of women and youth, and address internal armed conflict.

What it reported doing in 2024

During the 2024 fiscal year and to the best of our ability we were able to continue UN monitoring in our areas of program focus as well as work with partners in the field needing guidance on how to access UN and its core processes on gender, disarmament, peacekeeping, genocide prevention and related matters. We were also able to host interns and other professional guests on a regular basis. We continued to publish our own policy commentary and contribute to other publications focused on peace education, the UN and its relationship to peace and security in other global regions. We made presentations on peacebuilding in US business schools and at other international conference sites. We provided free consulting to groups working on pecekeeping ssues and on assisting engineers seeking to promote "green" recovery in the context of the Ukraine war. We contributed our management expertise to groups working on women's empowerment and on environmental mapping.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
