Interested in Establishing an Endowment?
As John Paul Lederach often says, building true peace among a people who have experienced protracted war takes at least as long as the war has lasted. We must plan for the long-haul. You can help CJP secure its continued long-term success by considering establishing an endowment. Endowments may be set up to provide scholarships, establish a faculty chair, or support the academic program, for example.
