It meets this goal by distributing funds raised through various activities to organizations whose focus is the care of children. It may also create and manage direct programs to care for children in emergency situations. The Peace Fund is also known by the acronym ''P.E.A.C.E'', which stands for ''Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere''; indicating that protecting, educating and aiding children are the specific focus of their programs.
