LPF is a nonprofit organization supported largely by its members as well as a variety of grants and honoraria from workshops, events, and trainings.
LPF's main priority is to support effective peace education and advocacy by its members and local chapters, networks, and congregations.
In recent years, these have included world hunger, landmines, and Senate ratification of the Chemical Weapons Treaty.
LPF's top advocacy priorities have included challenging militarism, ending hunger and extreme poverty, federal budget priorities, opposing war and militarism, climate change, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, youth and military service, nuclear weapons, and gender, race and economic justice.
The international LPF headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington, and there are local chapters and networks in many parts of the U.S.
