Small grants. Big impact.
We offer small grants to promote peace and social justice in the Pacific. These grants are designed to encourage individuals to engage in endeavours aimed at nurturing inner peace or to participate in peace-building activities, to foster and sustain positive and peaceful relationships.
Grant recipients become Fellows who join the Pacific Fellowship, a community of like-minded peace-makers who are, in their own ways, committed to building peace and social justice, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
Fellows are invited to contribute back to the Pacific Fellowship when able, creating a community of practice which passes the torch onwards.

Our first Fellow, Danity Laukon
In 2018-9, we are proud to have been able to support Danity Laukon from the Marshall Islands Student Association with a small grant, which helped MISA develop their campaign, My Fish is Your Fish. The Pacific Fellowship's support enabled MISA represent key issues related to youth in the Pacific especially that of the Nuclear heritage and its linkage to climate change.
We also supported Danity to come to Melbourne, Australia, to participate in a peace conference, allowing Danity to meet a large group of peace-makers active in Australia. This was a great networking opportunity for MISA to expand its' own network and capacity. The Pacific Fellowship's support also helped members of MISA explore and develop leadership skills, raise the capacity of the student-led initiative, and nurtured creativity through the integrating of cultural themes into videos and events. |
