Join the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute on a transformative journey: the $25 million Campaign for Peace to build a new Center of Healing, Teaching and Learning for families and communities impacted by murder, trauma, grief and loss. The new Center will be located in Dorchester, MA and serve individuals throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It will serve as a hub for community revitalization and ignite economic growth and development.

The campaign will fund:
• Building a state-of-the-art facility
• Scaling our approach state- and nationwide
• Sustaining our transformative services for generations to come.

The construction of the New Center will create jobs during the building process and opportunities for small businesses to contract. Once complete, the new event space will spur catering and hospitality jobs and contracts, and bring new revenue to surrounding restaurants, florists, and event planning and design firms. Additionally, the expansion of our Community Reentry Services Program will serve as a major workforce development and training program.

Since 1994, we have led in peace education and advocacy, and offered unwavering support to those navigating the aftermath of murder. Through a culture of compassion and dignity, we have empowered thousands of survivors to rebuild their lives with strength and resilience.
