The Sydney Peace Foundation brings the community together to recognise the extraordinary achievements of peacemakers. It starts vital public conversation to ensure their voices are heard.
Your generosity enables us to provide a powerful platform to show that peace and a more compassionate and equitable world is possible.
In the face of major global issues such as climate change, inequality and racism, we need to elevate powerful solutions to address economic, social and environmental injustice. For the past 25 years, the Sydney Peace Foundation’s core remit is to provide sustainable solutions to global injustice.
WHAT WE DO TO SHOW PEACE IS POSSIBLE
Award the Annual Sydney Peace Prize, Australia’s only international prize for peace. The Prize elevates leading global voices that promote peace, justice and nonviolence, and honours the inspiring people at the heart of these stories. For over two decades, Sydney Peace Prize recipients have shown us how to share our planet peacefully, justly and sustainably. They raise awareness, ignite discussion, and stimulate debate. By leading from example, the Sydney Peace Prize winners remind us that a fair, equitable and just world is possible and starts with our own actions, in our own families and communities.
Present the Gold Medal for Human Rights to recognise achievements in the promotion of peace with justice. The Gold Medal for Human Rights is a formal recognition and prestigious acknowledgement of an individual’s tireless commitment to human rights.
Outreach to schools. Every year, Sydney Peace Prize recipients meet thousands of students from schools all over Sydney at Cabramatta High School Peace Day. It allows students to learn about the vital contributions recipients have made to peace and justice and gives Laureates an opportunity to hear the voices of Australian youth.

Seminars and conversations on peace and non-violent solutions to conflict throughout the year.
