About Greenpeace
A Journey For The Planet, And For Peace
Greenpeace is a Global Movement.
We are more powerful and influential when we work in partnership with everyone who is committed to creating a green, just, and peaceful future. The Greenpeace global network has marched alongside social justice organizations, spoken out beside workers and corporate innovators, and developed groundbreaking campaigns with environmental organizations around the world.
Greenpeace Fund plays a powerful role in this worldwide movement, providing financial support for the research, public education, and advocacy that are the foundation of the Greenpeace Movement’s work to defend our oceans, protect the right to peaceful protest, and avert the very worst impacts of the climate crisis.
To maintain our independence, Greenpeace Fund does not accept donations from governments or corporations.
The Greenpeace movement is more than 3,500,000 strong.
The Greenpeace journey started over 50 years ago in the early hours of a September morning. The plan for that first Greenpeace crew was to sail a rickety fishing boat to the Arctic Ocean to stop a US government nuclear test. It was to be, in the words of Greenpeace movement co-founder Irving Stowe, “A trip for life, and for peace.”
Today, the Greenpeace Movement has more than 3,500,000 financial supporters worldwide, with national and regional offices in more than 55 countries.
Following the Quaker tradition which inspired our founding, the Greenpeace global network “bears witness” to environmental destruction, moving from a belief that, as citizens in an interconnected global community, we have a moral obligation to take action against the injustices imposed on our planet in a peaceful, non-violent manner. The movement challenges the systems of influence and privilege that destroy the environment and place disproportionate burdens on the economically disadvantaged and the vulnerable.
Greenpeace Fund plays a vital role in the global network, providing financial support for the research, investigations, and communications that support the foundation of Greenpeace USA’s campaign work and in campaigns the world over. Through Greenpeace Fund, our supporters power the creativity of artists, aid in providing a platform for the voices of scientists, and offer hope to those seeking to disrupt the myths and misinformation that discourage innovation and deny much needed progress.
