An Enduring Vision

Inspiring, encouraging and promoting Radiant Peace

The Radiant Peace Foundation International, Inc. was a nonprofit educational organization, not political, activist or religious. It operated solely on donations from individuals and corporations and maintained and expanded its programs through the support of generous donors. Its mission was always to inspire, encourage and promote Radiant Peace^® and to serve as a centerpoint for Radiant Peace education worldwide. Every program of The Radiant Peace Foundation International gave people the opportunity to expand upon their innate capacity to recognize and celebrate the Radiant Peace that lies within all our hearts. The Foundation closed its doors at the end of 2023 after 37 years.

Radiant Peace Programs at the Grassroots Level

Programs Overview

The largest program was The Radiant Peace Education Awards^®, in which students in grades 1 through 12 submitted essays, art or special projects based on Radiant Peace themes. Since 1990, more than 300,000 children participated in this program in the United States. Every participant -- students, teachers, and staff -- received a beautiful iron-on cloth Radiant Peace Patch (see picture on right). In later years, the program also expanded into 15 other countries on four continents. After thirteen years of receiving outstanding entries for The Radiant Peace Education Awards, we began displaying some of them; and that one-room exhibit expanded into The International Museum of Radiant Peace. Radiant Peace programs included:

• The International Museum of Radiant Peace
• The Radiant Peace Education Awards^®, started in 1990
• Celebrations of The International Day of Radiant Peace held worldwide since 1999
• Radiant Peace caretaking of animals and all living things on Earth
• Protection of special natural sites dedicated to Radiant Peace worldwide
• Recognition of outstanding Radiant Peacemakers
• Radiant Peace walks and events in many countries
• Flying the Radiant Peace banner in homes, schools and businesses on six continents
