Berghof Foundation for Conflict Studies

For more than 35 years, the Berghof Foundation for Conflict Studies has devoted philanthropic resources to nurturing a scholarly tradition in peace and conflict studies. We are a private family foundation with both an operational and grant-making capacity.

Our primary mission is three-fold:

  • Supporting excellence and innovation in applied research in conflict studies
  • Enabling pragmatic approaches to nonviolent conflict transformation
  • Promoting effective networks of support and action with partner organisations
