CFP is a private granting and operating foundation building the
infrastructure of peace from the inside out. In 2007, CFP helped found Fambul
Tok (FT) in Sierra Leone, the world’s first national scale but fully locally
owned and led program of post-war community healing and reconciliation, and we shared
its stories of peace through a multi-media communications program, anchored by
our award-winning documentary film. Building on this decade of experience, our
ongoing partnership with Fambul Tok now focuses on growing inclusive governance
in Sierra Leone as an essential means to ensure lasting peace and sustainable,
community-centered development. CFP continues the development of a second major
programmatic focus, also building on deep experience both in Sierra Leone and
globally – inviting women’s leadership in peacebuilding and development. CFP is committed to an emergent way of working
rooted in cultivating deep wisdom and ongoing action-learning cycles, an
internal process and evolving program area we call -- Wisdom Circle. CFP is headquartered in Portland, Maine, and our core
leadership team works remotely, from Portland, ME, Harrisonburg, VA, and the DC
metro area.
