Overview

Mission

To pursue peace through active nonviolence in places of conflict.

What it reported doing in 2024

Michigan Peace Team (MPT) offered trainings to ordinary citizens in creative, bold, active nonviolent conflict interventions. The people trained in these nonviolence skills were vetted and prepared to participate onpeace teams. It is difficult to ascertain how many participate on peace teams. It is difficult to ascertain how many individuals we come in direct contact withas we engage in third-party nonviolent intervention work, but there are those that are indirectly affected as they participate in our webinars, read articles and blog postings about the impact this work is having - futher reinforcing the concept that nonviolence works.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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 available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
