Title edit
Ploughshares Fund :: Peace & Security; Preventing the Use of Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons.
Description edit
The Ploughshares Fund is a public grantmaking foundation that supports initiatives to prevent the spread and use of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and other weapons of war, and to prevent conflicts that could lead to the use of weapons of mass destruction.
In the twenty-four years since the Ploughshares Fund was founded, we have made grants totaling more than $40 million to become the largest grantmaking foundation in the U.S. focusing exclusively on peace and security issues. During this time, the nuclear threat has changed, but has not dissipated. We have built an organization capable of responding to new threats to global security as they have emerged – the vulnerability of poorly-guarded nuclear weapons and materials following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the changing nature of armed conflict after the Cold War, and the geopolitical upheavals in the wake of the September 11th attacks.
As a so-called “venture funder” we have specialized in giving start-up funding to promising new endeavors, and then helping to leverage more substantial support from other sources. So doing, the Ploughshares Fund has proven time and again that modest amounts of money, given to the right people at the right time, can yield profound results.
