Support Concordis
Help us build trust between people affected by conflict: Give to Concordis.
Why give to peacebuilding?
Without peace, nothing works.
Keeping schools open, health centres functioning, food in the markets or livelihoods for families is profoundly challenging in conflict environments. Peacebuilding recreates stability.
To live free from violence and in peace is a fundamental human right.
Grassroots conflicts, those between individuals and communities in remote, forgotten hinterlands, may seem insignificant. But if they are left to smoulder, they create areas of high tension and potentially flammable scenarios. In places of such vulnerability, people do not thrive.
Peacebuilding changes lives: people are given a chance to thrive.
Concordis’ peacebuilders create sustainable change in communities where conflict is fought and felt. The Concordis approach is nimble, responsive, relational and effective. We work with humility, impartiality and inclusivity. We invest in our local staff and local peacebuilders, without complicated, costly infrastructure.
Become a Friend
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.

Leave a Legacy of Peace
Help us build stability where nothing is stable.
Remember Concordis in your Will.
Leaving us a legacy in your Will is one of the most impactful gifts you can give. It is unrestricted, allowing us to direct your support exactly where it is needed most: whether that means solving urgent problems, unlocking new opportunities, or encouraging our teams to keep going. More than just financial help, legacy gifts carry an extraordinary message of trust and belief. At moments when challenges feel heavy, the knowledge that someone cared enough to think about how best to support us brings strength as much as resources do. That is the true legacy your support offers: practical impact and lasting encouragement.
It makes a difference. You will make a difference.
If you don’t have a Will, you can write one online for free with our partner, Freewill. It takes about 20 minutes to create a bespoke, fully legal document at no cost to you or the charities you want to support. Click the button to go to Freewill.
If you are instructing a solicitor, they can add a legacy instruction to gift Concordis a lump sum or a percentage of your estate on your death. Please get in touch if you need further information by filling in the form below.
