The Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution relies on philanthropy to support all our interventions and fieldwork. Contributions help fund CRDC’s education programs, training workshops, back-channel diplomacy meetings, publication of op-eds, and other resource materials on religion in conflict.

Gifts to CRDC are received by the George Mason University Foundation and are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

Funds or endowments may be named by agreement between the donor and the University. Such gifts may bear the donor’s name or be named in honor of a family member or friend. Gifts in support of the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution may be tailored to reflect the donor’s interests and tax situation. Memorial and living tribute opportunities also can be arranged.
