The Ploughshares Fund is inviting grant proposals to provide funding to individuals and organizations for promoting the elimination of nuclear weapons, prevention of the emergence of new nuclear states and building regional peace and security.
The Fund also amplifies and coordinates the work of our grantees to:
- Develop winning strategies that push forward the vision of a nuclear-weapons free world
- Bring together experts, analysts, lobbyists and activists to create and win shared campaigns
- Build a bipartisan legislative consensus for eliminating nuclear weapons
- Expand the public’s knowledge and catalyze public support for the elimination of nuclear weapons
There are few restrictions on the grantmaking. Below are the conditions:
- There are no geographical limitations on its grants
- It does not fund fund direct lobbying programs
- It makes grants to individuals
- It does not fund the production of films, videos, books, art projects or the research and writing of academic dissertations
The Board of Directors meets three times each year to award grants. Ploughshares Fund staff may also consider requests for emergency funding on a discretionary basis. The next deadline for proposals is COB March 15, 2013.
