Search for Common Groun (or SFCG) is an international non-profit organization operating in 16 countries whose mission is to transform the way the world deals with conflict – away from adversarial approaches toward cooperative solutions. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with the majority of its employees based in field offices around the world. To date, SFCG has created several independent radio stations, begun a newsletter which features articles on relations between the West and the Muslim world, and brought together numerous conflicting groups to find ways to peacefully resolve issues. John Marks, SFCG's founder and current president, recently received an award from the Skoll Foundation for social entrepreneurship.
