Peace Garden General Information

The International Peace Garden is a non-profit organization operated by a twenty person board of directors. Ten of the directors are Canadians and ten are residents of the United States. Of the twenty board members, one is appointed by the governor of the North Dakota and one is appointed by the premier of Manitoba.

The state of North Dakota and the province of Manitoba provide part of the garden’s funding with some assistance from the U.S. and Canadian governments mostly for capital projects. The primary source of the garden’s operating funds is from admission fees, profits from the gift shop, food service and from donations.
