Where do the profits generated by the White Peace Dove Campaign go?

The White Peace Dove Campaign is run by the White Dove Peace Association, which is a registered non-profit organisation, with a primary basis in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. 100% of the profits generated by the campaign are given back to non-profit organisations working for the cause of peace in the form of small grants or loans. In 2009 the campaign had to pay the significant costs of the mold for the White Peace Doves so no surplus revenue was generated, however it is expected that in the future the campaign will generate enough revenue to provide some grants to non-profit organisations.

What is the White Peace Dove made of and where is it made?

The White Peace Dove is made in Canada from a white flocked vinyl material. It is the same kind of material and attached with the same kind of pin as the Remembrance Day Poppy. The dimensions of the doves are similar in size to the poppy.

Why is the suggested donation price for the White Peace Doves $1.00?

The White Peace Dove Campaign is designed to provide an opportunity for non-profit groups to fundraise money, as well as facilitate dialogue about issues of peace. If 100+ doves are purchased, they cost approximately $0.50/dove, which allows the groups to fundraise $50.00 for every one hundred doves that they sell at the suggested donation of $1.00. When you purchase 100+ doves, we also include a display box and stickers! It is a great fundraising opportunity for grassroots groups and organisations!

How many doves are distributed?

In 2009, the inaugural year of the campaign, we distributed over 7,000 doves, primarily to non-profit organisations. In 2010 we are distributing a similar quantity.

Why complement Remembrance Day?

The White Peace Dove Campaign continues the messaging of the White Poppies for Peace. Please read about the origins of the campaign. We encourage people to wear their White Peace Doves alongside a Remembrance Day Poppy if they feel uncomfortable simply wearing a White Peace Dove.
