Ploughshares Fund

Ploughshares Fund is a publicly supported foundation that funds, organizes and innovates projects to realize a world free of the threat of nuclear weapons. Maintaining stockpiles of nuclear weapons exposes the company to the risk of their use by accident, miscalculation or malice. Nuclear weapons also increase the risk of conflict in some of the wo... rld's most unstable regions, ultimately threatening the company's security. Since 1981, Ploughshares Fund has led and supported efforts to address this and other global security challenges. In 2010, Ploughshares Fund spearheaded the successful campaign of over 50 non-governmental organizations to win the Senate approval of the New START treaty. Ploughshares Fund is currently concentrating on efforts to bring the nuclear weapons budget in line with 21st century military needs; to continue U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons reductions in a way that benefits both nations' national security objectives; and to promote diplomatic resolution of Iran's nuclear program.Read More
