To date, we have been involved in peacebuilding activities locally, nationally, and internationally. Now, we need your support to strengthen and expand our efforts and reach!

Please consider donating to our Center to fund:

  1. A Peace Plaza on Ball State’s campus (between College of Architecture and Miller College of Business);
  2. Student scholarships to pursue research, service, and engage in presentations at professional conferences;
  3. Training programs to teach university members and other individuals conflict prevention and resolution skills;
  4. Community outreach programs (e.g., promote nonviolence; eradicate food deserts; teach youth and adults in Central Indiana conflict prevention and resolution skills; facilitate mutual understanding and respect between, for instance, diverse religious, racial, ethnic individuals); and
  5. Research and evaluation projects focused on peace, nonviolence, and/or social justice.

We welcome any amount of financial support you can provide. With your contributions, together we can strive to create a more peaceful and just world! Thank you for considering our request!
