The Pax Christi International Fund for Peace is a non-profit tax exempt organization founded to support the work of Pax Christi’s global network of 120 organizations promoting active nonviolence and just peace on six continents. With an international secretariat in Brussels, Pax Christi members sponsor a wide variety of programs and projects for peace at a grassroots level. See Pax Christi Peace Stories.

Another important Pax Christi program supported by contributions through the Pax Christi International Fund for Peace is the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, which is making a serious case with the institutional Catholic Church – both at the Vatican and through Catholic universities and religious communities around the world – to deepen Catholic understanding of and commitment to nonviolence as a spirituality, a way of life, a set of diverse strategies for achieving social and ecological justice and a universal ethic at the heart of peace.
