GATHER is the home for practical action to upend conflict. It is a platform to spark, fuel, and scale locally rooted efforts seeking to change the status quo.
GATHER is an inclusive and impact-driven program that supports innovation and practical action across sectors, irrespective of profit-structure, and on a variety of issues that are related to and can impact conflict.
We host themed convening spaces that focus on select issues and allow for its participants to exchange ideas, share expertise, and initiate connections that could ultimately lead to alliance, investment or other input that could accelerate accomplishment.
By leveraging the Seeds of Peace network of leading corporate, private, public, media, philanthropy and academic figures, we mobilize the knowledge, investment and constructive assistance necessary to unlock the potential of the GATHER community members.
