Global Peace Foundation

The Global Peace Foundation (GPF) is an international nonprofit organization with a stated mission to promote “an innovative, values-based approach to peacebuilding, guided by the vision of One Family under God.” GPF partners with government ministries, community and faith-based organizations, and United Nations offices to develop and execute programs in 20 countries.

GPF programs place special emphasis on values and ideals grounded in the world's faith and wisdom traditions to foster social cohesion, bridge religious, cultural and ethnic divisions, strengthen families, and support youth through values education and entrepreneurial training. GPF programs, which include the Character and Creativity education initiative, All-Lights Village project, Latin American Presidential Mission, International Young Leaders Assembly and Interfaith Alliance to Abolish Human Trafficking (Safe Haven Campaign). have been recognized with awards and citations from the governments of Korea, Nepal and Malaysia, as well as by the United Nations Office at Nairobi, Kenya.

Founded in 2009 by Hyun Jin Moon as the Global Peace Festival Foundation, the organization originally sponsored cultural and sports festivals as an approach to promote social cohesion and mitigate religious and ethnic divisions. It was renamed the Global Peace Foundation in 2012 to better reflect the broader scope of activities being implemented worldwide.

GPF is accreditation in UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status and affiliation to the UN Department of Public Information (DPI) since 2019.
