Summer 2007
Donors Make CJP Possible
Upwards and onwards. That's the direction of fundraising for the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP).
Donations to CJP set a record this year, as measured both by contributions to CJP endowments and to its annual
fund. Donation dollars jumped 38% from fiscal year 2005-06. This means more scholarship funds, more support
for faculty stretched thin by demands on their time, more funding for explaining our lessons on peace and justice
to the world. (Thank you, donors!)
Three new endowments were added, offering permanent support so critical to the long-term viability of CJP.
Prior to this year, generous donors established 10 other endowments for CJP. Many of these endowments support
student scholarships. Others provide general support for the center or provide funding for faculty to pursue
research and writing opportunities. CJP’s endowments now total $2,063,275, a significant amount for a relatively
new program, but not nearly enough to meet the need, particularly for scholarships.
New donors are contributing and others are increasing their support because they recognize that CJP can only be
effective if it is secure in its annual funding and is able to increase its endowments for scholarships and creative
new peace and justice programs.
To join this group of donors who share our vision of expanding peace and justice throughout the world, please contact Phoebe Kilby, associate director of development for CJP, at 800-368-3383 or phoebe.kilby@emu.edu.
