MEET THE FUND

About Us : The Colombian Peace Fund (CPF) is a non-profit organization under the Title 501(c) (3) of the United States IRS Code, organized by Colombians, Colombian-Americans, and other supporters living in the United States. The purpose of the Foundation is to increase awareness of the Colombian humanitarian crisis brought by the approximately four (4) million internally displaced persons, as a result of decades of internal conflict, and to raise funds for the benefit of those internally displaced families and communities in Colombia. The disbursement of funds is done through a competitive grant writing process with awards made to non-profit organizations that are actively providing direct services to those internally displaced persons. The selection process takes place after receipt of applications by the different provider organizations. To qualify for funding, non-profit organizations are required to submit proposals in the areas of health services, education, work force development, and housing and shelter. One of the strategies promoted by CPF is to solicit supporters to dedicate and donate one day of their salary for the relief of displaced persons who desperately need assistance in the aforementioned areas of emphasis.

VISION

The Colombian Peace Fund (CPF) raises and distributes financial resources to support efforts of non-profit organizations in Colombia that deal directly with Internally Displaced Persons to improve their conditions in the areas of health, education, housing and work force development.  

 

We aspire to see these families living and thriving in safe and healthy environments, where children can attend schools to learn without fear of harm; where parents can obtain training that will lead them to productive and gainful work to support their families; and where health services are available and affordable.  

MISSION

To organize fundraising efforts among Colombian-Americans, Colombians and sympathizers of Colombia on a local, regional, national, and international levels to channel donations to established non-profit organizations who are providing assistance and support to displaced Colombian communities, families, and individuals affected by violence. Specific and designated areas of emphasis to receive aid grants will be those related to education, health care, work force development, and housing and shelter.
