Ploughshares Fund

The Ploughshares Fund is a public grantmaking foundation that supports initiatives to prevent the spread and use of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and other weapons of war, and to prevent conflicts that could lead to the use of weapons of mass destruction. Ploughshares is a 501(c)(3) foundation that pools contributions from individuals, families and foundations. With over $100 million awarded in grants since its founding in 1981, Ploughshares Fund is the largest U.S. philanthropic foundation focused exclusively on peace and security grantmaking.〔''(Nuclear Nightmares: Securing the World Before It Is Too Late )'', Joseph Cirincione, Appendix F〕
==History==

Ploughshares enables individual contributors to pool resources and provide support for initiatives to prevent the spread and use of nuclear weapons. Since it was founded, Ploughshares has made grants totaling nearly $100 million to hundreds of people and organizations around the world, becoming the largest grantmaking foundation in the U.S. whose exclusive mission is peace and security funding.〔〔(Nuclear Shadowboxing: Cold War Redux ), A. DeVolpi.〕
Sally Lilienthal died in October 2006, at the age of 87, while still serving as Ploughshares Fund's president.〔(Sally Lilienthal )〕 In 2008 the Board of Directors appointed Joseph Cirincione as Ploughshares Fund's president.〔(Q&A: JOSEPH CIRINCIONE, President of PLOUGHSHARES FUND and Author )〕
