Organization Background 

PAX sapiens (PAX) is the dba name of the Arsenault Family Foundation, a US-based international foundation with the mission of preventing predictable global catastrophes. Our three primary lines of effort are pandemic prevention, preventing armed conflict between the US and China and nuclear risk reduction. We also administer Our Secure Future, which works to strengthen the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda to build a more peaceful word through ensuring women’s full participation in governance.

Objective and Service Requirements 

In support of our program impact and operating work, PAX is interested in developing an active development strategy to help identify external funders interested in supporting our work directly.

This RFP solicits bids from entities that have deep experience in development with internationally focused operating and grant making foundations.
