As I look at the date of this Grant Gazing I just want to send my personal wishes out to everyone touched by the 9-11 attacks. My wishes are for healing and safety and sanity in our world.

My feelings about today lead me to provide the following links to find groups working toward global and local peace. All of the following have their own grant or fellowship programs. This is in no way a comprehensive listing, just a place to start. Every movement towards peace needs a place to start.

The United States Institute of Peace has a mission of preventing, managing, and resolving threats to international peace.
