United Nations Foundation

(...)The UN Foundation makes it easy to engage in the work of the UN. As a platform for partnering with the UN, we help corporations, foundations, governments, and individuals make a difference in the important work the UN does across a broad range of issues. Our role in these partnerships varies—from catalyst to convener, advocate to grantmaker, fiduciary to fundraising ally—but in each case, we are able to achieve an outcome that is greater than what any single actor would have accomplished working alone. These efforts are conducted in close coordination with the United Nations Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP), our strategic counterpoint within the UN system.(...).

Peace, Security & Human Rights
The UN Foundation's Peace, Security and Human Rights program promotes preventive engagement in three areas–security, well-being and justice–in an integrated effort to alleviate the root causes of conflict while seeking to avoid crises by promoting the peaceful management of the massive changes that are confronting every nation in the international system.The UN Foundation formalized its commitment to the causes of peace and human rights by launching the Program on Peace, Security and Human Rights in 1998, emphasizing conflict prevention and the promotion of human rights. While previous work in this field supported a variety of humanitarian causes, the UN Foundation tightened its focus to advance specific initiatives of the Secretary-General and the UN system that emphasize preventive action. The UN Foundation focuses its Peace, Security & Human Rights grantmaking on the following priority areas:•Conflict Prevention.•Human Rights.•Peace Building.
