Peace Development Fund is a public foundation based in Amherst, Massachusetts, operating within the philanthropic fundraising landscape. Supported by activist donors, it offers grants, training, and other resources to community organizations tackling social justice, human rights, and environmental sustainability in the United States. The organization emphasizes a bottom-up model of change, arguing that durable progress comes from a broad base of informed, engaged citizens. Its conception of peace extends beyond the absence of conflict to the cultivation of equitable relationships among people, nations, and the environment, shaping its approach to justice across social, environmental, and economic dimensions. Founded in 1981, PDF positions itself as a funder and facilitator for grassroots movements, supporting local organizers and coalitions. A notable recent development is the launch of its Grassroots Gala in Holyoke, Massachusetts, announced in January 2025 to recognize community organizers working for social justice.
