Peace Donors Society
The Melissa Institute has created the Peace Donors Society to recognize major donors supporting the Institute’s mission to prevent violence, build resilience and promote safer communities through the application of research-based knowledge. The Peace Donors Society includes Gold Peace Donors whose cumulative gifts, pledges, or pro bono contributions to the Institute have reached $25,000, Dimond Peace Donors whose contributions have reached $50,000, and Founder Peace Donors with contributions of $100,000 or more. These honored Peacemakers join a charitable community of scholars and community leaders who enable the Institute to provide consultations, trainings and conferences, assist those in need and support new research in violence prevention.
