Our underlying approach

In its work PPCF aims to support projects that change values and attitudes, that promote equity and social justice, and that develop radical alternatives to current economic and social structures. It gives particular consideration to small pioneering headquarters organisations. Grants are normally between £3,000 and £10,000 per year for one to three years.

Peace and security

Development of ways of resolving international and internal conflicts peacefully, and of removing the causes of conflict.

Ecological sustainability

Work that tackles the underlying pressures and conditions leading towards global environmental breakdown; particularly initiatives that promote sustainable living.

Other issues

PPCF also supports human rights and women's issues particularly those related to changes in policy and underlying attitudes and to peace and ecological sustainability.  PPCF also has a long-standing link with the Society of Friends and has supported the work of Quaker groups.

Exclusions

Grants to individuals; travel bursaries (including overseas placements and expeditions); study; academic research; capital projects (e.g. building projects or purchase of nature reserves); community or local projects (except innovative projects for widespread application); international agencies and overseas appeals; general appeals.
