Community, youth, women’s and faith-based non-governmental organizations are encouraged to apply. There is approximately $200,000 available to award one grant.The Department of State’s purpose in funding projects under this opportunity is to reduce violent extremism and terrorism by promoting a comprehensive approach to address violent extremist challenges in Europe and the unique contributions that communities, civil society, and the private sector can make towards this effort. Our office seeks to promote positive narratives and tolerant perspectives as well as directly dispel violent extremist messaging; reduce violent extremism through education, critical thinking, and structured dialogue; and enhance and amplify community-based resiliency efforts focused on women and youth.
