Friends of Concordis
Would you like to support our work?
Become a Friend of Concordis.
We are relational peacebuilders. We work by building trusting relationships with those we are invited to help, from all sides of a conflict situation.
Equally, we want to feel that we are in trusting relationships with those who support us financially.
That’s why we have Friends of Concordis.
To be a Friend, all you need to do is give us a regular gift; the amount and regularity are your choice.
It’s a way that people who give us money walk with us, knowing the stories and the people who do this incredibly courageous work.
The support of our Friends is essential to Concordis; you are a tremendous source of encouragement as well as practical help.
By becoming a Friend, you will help us strengthen and expand local peacebuilding efforts. Your contribution will fund…
The crises that create unexpected expenditure: There are many unforeseen challenges to working in war zones. Things are often unpredictable. Sometimes our staff need ready funds faster than donors can release them. Friends’ funds are ready for those moments.
The exploration of new invitations: We can send staff to visit a community requesting our help, before we have to fund a programme there. And when we’re there, we might be able to help quickly and effectively, using Friend’s funds.
Our flow from one funding cycle to the next: This helps staff stay in the field and ensures relationships are not compromised. If we have to move in and out of a conflict zone with donor funding cycles, it challenges the trust we build, because we promise long-term support. Friends’ funds ensure continuity.
Local need where it emerges: You will enable staff to respond quickly to initiatives that underpin peace. Be it sewing machines to enable women to set up businesses, travel expenses for a tribal chief to attend a peace conference, or support for the talent night of a youth peace gathering. Friends’ funds help meet real needs.
