Campaign for Peace

Join the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute on a transformative journey: the $25 million Campaign for Peace.

Since 1994, the Peace Institute has been a leader in homicide response, violence prevention, and peacebuilding, filling a gap in much-needed local services while developing an innovative, effective model that leads the field of Community Violence Intervention. We are grateful for every bit of our progress, yet violence continues to plague our city and our nation, and we know we can do more.

We are launching the Campaign for Peace to meet this crucial moment. With your support, we will expand our programs and services and build a new Center of Healing, Teaching and Learning in one of Boston’s most impacted neighborhoods. More than just a building, the Center will transform a vacant lot into a hub for healing and education, driving positive change in our community, city and commonwealth. And it will be a model for cities nationwide.
