Founders' Fund


As Eric Dawson, co-founder and outgoing CEO, enters his final stretch at Peace First, a group of long-term, committed funders have stepped forward to launch a Founders' Fund to celebrate his three decades at Peace First and to set up the next team of Co-CEOs with resources critical for their success with a gift of $1,000,000.


That’s right, one million dollars to support this leadership transition. A gift they are hoping others will match, leaving a million-dollar legacy to build the next chapter of Peace First. By establishing a Founders' Fund, we aim to honor his vision, passion, and commitment to young people’s leadership in making the world a more compassionate and just place.


Your donation will go towards supporting Eric’s legacy as well as our new Co-CEOs and the next generation of Peace First Founders. 

Peace First is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 04-3323467. All contributions are tax deductible. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for the contribution.
