The 2011 Colombian Peace Fund's Grants Process and Grant Timeline The Colombian Peace Fund (CPF) raises financial resources to fund nonprofit organizations in Colombia already providing assistance and direct services to internally displaced individuals and families affected by years of conflict. Specific areas that are supported by CPF are those organizations that are providing services in education, health services, housing and shelter, and work force development. Another of our objectives is also to raise awareness of Colombia's great humanitarian crisis, globally second only to Sudan's.  

The Grant applications are reviewed by an independent Evaluation Committee comprised of professionals with experience in various fields, including international field work in healthcare, administration, technical support, social work, and project management.
This independent Evaluation Committee makes funding recommendations to the Board of Directors.
The following individuals, who reside in the Washington D.C. area have reviewed all accepted applications for CPF. They are as follows:  

- Doctor Jose O. Mora, MD

- Psychologist Dr. Hugo Galindo

- Attorney, Nicolas Lloreda, and

- Dentist, Luis Fernando Echeverri

The announcement of grants selected is made after the evaluation has been completed and ratified by the board of directors.
Once new funds are available, CPF announces the amount available and timeline for request of proposals to organizations in Colombia. .
