For Ongoing work on Interfaith Harmony, Peace, Justice, and Sustainability:   

In order to design and implement ongoing programs that achieve measurable impact on peace, justice, and sustainability and engage the amazing network of persons of faith and conscience that are engaged as collaborators in the work we do, we need financial support for our organization as a whole and specific programs. We are interested in support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and collaborators.
