International Peace Research Association Foundation

Founded in 1990 the IPRA Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, furthers the purposes and activities of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA) which, since 1965, has sought to enhance the processes of peace.

The IPRA Foundation began as a depository of funds brought in by people with specific projects. The main task was to invest those funds safely in socially acceptable enterprises and pay them out as needed. A short description of the foundation projects follows:

Dorothy Marcus Senesh Fellowship Endowment

The Senesh Endowment provides a biennial fellowship for two years of graduate study to a woman from the third world.

Kenneth Boulding Memorial Conference Funding Fund

The Boulding Fund supports research activities of IPRA Commissions and a limited number of travel grants.

Small Peace Research Grants

Small research grants up to $2000 to support systemic observation or study of conflict phenomena and peace strategies.

IPRA Foundation Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund supports the work of the International Peace Research Association and its affiliates, including expenses and needs of the IPRA Foundation.
