PEACEFUL PATHWAYS, REDUCING EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE

Dear Colleague:
We are reaching out to funders with a strong interest in the Native American community to invite you to nominate local projects for a new matching grants program—Peaceful Pathways: Reducing Exposure to Violence.
Across the U.S., violent behavior can be a significant obstacle to good health. Through Peaceful Pathways,Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Local Funding Partnerships offers matching grants of $50,000 to $200,000 for new projects that serve communities of color and other traditionally under-resourced groups.

Please consider forwarding this Call for Proposals to nonprofit leaders whose programs build on community strengths and wisdom to increase peace and safety. Eligible projects may address any behavior that causes physical, emotional or psychological harm.

We rely on local grantmakers who recognize innovative, community-based projects that create meaningful change to solve complex issues. Together, we could leverage our combined resources to foster a program’s long-term success.
Please feel free to call on any one of us at 609-275-4128 to discuss our grantmaking programs or the proposal you may nominate. We look forward to talking with you.
Sincerely,



Common Places. Common Causes. Uncommon Connections.
