USIP Secures $55M to Bolster Global Peacekeeping and U.S. Security

We are excited to announce that the United States Institute of Peace has successfully raised $55,000,000 in new funding—a critical milestone in our ongoing mission to prevent violent conflicts and broker peace deals abroad. Founded by Congress in 1984 as a nonpartisan and independent organization, USIP has long dedicated itself to protecting American interests by offering effective strategies to manage political tensions before they escalate. This dramatic funding achievement reinforces our commitment to ensuring that the United States remains safe from the costly repercussions of foreign wars, which often serve as breeding grounds for terrorism, criminal gangs, and disruptive migration trends. The newly secured investment will bolster USIP’s efforts in projecting U.S. influence and providing essential support to partner countries in regions destabilized by the ambitions of global adversaries, including China. With these funds, we will expand our research and operational capabilities, developing proven solutions that empower both the U.S. government and international stakeholders working to end conflict. Our comprehensive approach targets the root causes of unrest by engaging local communities, advising policymakers, and deploying innovative conflict resolution strategies with lasting impact. As we celebrate this significant financial milestone, we invite scholars, practitioners, and advocates to join us in forging a more stable and peaceful world.
