Partners in Peace

Our partners, supporters and friends

The Sydney Peace Foundation, now as an independent, not-for-profit, relies on the generosity and support of our partners to fulfil our mission of advocating for peace, justice and non-violence.

A special thanks to City of Sydney – a City committed to ensuring a socially just and sustainable future based on tolerance, social and climate justice. And to our supporters in academia, business, civil society and individuals who care deeply about creating a better, more peaceful world.

We partner with organisations and individuals to deliver programs that strengthen peace literacy and movements for peace with justice. Our programs focus on peace education, school and youth outreach, and scholarships and internships. Our programs also address underlying structural inequality and injustice as necessary pre-conditions of a more peaceful and just society.

Together, we are not only able to amplify the voices of the world’s leading peacemakers but also building stronger, more resilient communities to shape a more just and compassionate world.

Our Patrons

Dame Marie Bashir is honoured as our posthumous patron for her contribution to peacebuilding across many decades.

City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore

I commend the Sydney Peace Foundation on its dedication to promoting peace and honouring champions of human rights. As Australia’s only international award for peace, the annual Sydney Peace Prize reminds us of the urgent need to address conflict and discord where we see it. It inspires us to think more deeply about the world in which we live and the values we hold dear.

The Hon. Dame Professor Marie Bashir AD CVO

As the former Governor of New South Wales and as a former Chancellor of The University of Sydney, I am immensely proud of the important work which the Foundation undertakes. The Foundation eloquently advocates for peace with justice, which is central to achieving fair and just livelihoods, with adequate access to food, health, education, and most certainly to human rights, dignity and freedom.
