Overview

Mission

Ignite peace educates and advocates for peace, challenges unjust systems, and promotes the creation of a nonviolent society. Through frameworks of nonviolence and anti-racism, ignite peace works on the issues of immigration justice and criminal justice.

What it reported doing in 2024

Immigration - ignite peace fully believes that immigrants should be welcomed to the united states and our current immigration law does not support that. The goal of ignite peace's immigration program is to engage immigrants, allies, and the general public on the realities of our broken immigration system so that they can come together and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
