During the fall of 2009, six Canadian foundations came together to create the Canadian Peace Grantmakers Network:
The Network rises from the recognition of the need to strive for peace, a value that is widely shared by Canadians. This value needs to be better defined and better rooted in its practical sense in order to find stronger support through philanthropic funding. People representing foundations that would like to join the network may do so by contacting the association's executive manager, Ms. Dorith Toledano, at 514-895-5051 or by email at dorith.toledano@gmail.com.
