The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS) is announcing the Gang Activity Prosecution (GAP) Grant Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. This competitive grant program, funded by the State of Georgia with $1,250,000, aims to support state and local efforts in prosecuting gang-related activity. The program's core purpose aligns with GEMA/HS's mission to enhance public safety by reducing gang activity and creating safer communities through effective legal action. The grant period of performance will run from September 19, 2024, to May 15, 2025. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are the citizens of Georgia, who will benefit from reduced gang-related crime and safer communities. The target entities for the grant are State of Georgia law enforcement agencies, prosecuting attorneys, and non-profits specifically focused on gang prosecutions. This includes State Agencies, Judicial District/Circuits, County Sheriffs, and Police Departments. The overarching impact goal is to strengthen the prosecution of gang activity across the state, thereby directly contributing to public safety and order. The program's priorities and focus areas are centered on risk-driven, capabilities-based strategic plans. Successful applicants must clearly articulate how their projects will contribute to creating safer communities through the prosecution of gang activity. This involves identifying and explaining methods to address high-priority needs related to gang activity prosecution, considering how to sustain current capabilities, and addressing potential gaps in the system. The grant emphasizes a holistic, "whole community" approach, encouraging collaboration among government officials, elected leaders, and the broader community to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of these efforts. Expected outcomes and measurable results include an increase in successful gang activity prosecutions throughout Georgia. While specific quantitative metrics for success are not detailed, the emphasis on "clearly identify and explain how their project will assist in creating safer communities by prosecuting gang activity" implies that successful applications will demonstrate a clear pathway to achieving these outcomes. The program implicitly operates under a theory of change where targeted financial support for prosecution efforts will lead directly to a reduction in gang activity, ultimately resulting in a safer environment for all Georgia residents.

The Movember Indigenous Men’s Wellbeing Innovation Initiative is a grant funding and capacity building program aimed at empowering Indigenous-led organizations. This initiative supports the development, implementation, and evaluation of innovative programs and interventions to enhance Indigenous men's social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB). As one of four initiatives under Movember’s new Indigenous Social and Emotional Wellbeing Portfolio, it aligns with Movember's broader mission to build voice, capability, and power among Indigenous boys and men to design, lead, implement, and sustain SEWB in their communities, and to strengthen knowledge of effective SEWB strategies. The grant specifically targets Indigenous boys and men across all life stages in the United States. The program's core focus is on delivering innovative new programming or strengthening existing promising approaches that demonstrate improvements in SEWB. Movember aims to foster cultural connection and pride, embrace cultural knowledge, elevate overall social, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing, strengthen resilience, enhance health literacy, and improve access to culturally appropriate spaces and services that support SEWB. These priorities are central to achieving the desired impact of improved holistic wellbeing within Indigenous communities. Eligible applicants must be Indigenous owned/managed/led organizations based in the United States, legally able to accept grant funds, and either implementing an existing SEWB program with promising evidence or proposing a new program aligned with the funding goals. This ensures that the initiatives are culturally relevant and community-driven. Movember’s strategic priorities reflect a commitment to supporting Indigenous self-determination and strengthening community-based solutions. The initiative provides annual funding of up to USD $250,000 per applicant for three years. The expected outcomes include a significant improvement in SEWB among Indigenous boys and men in the USA, measurable through indicators such as increased connection to culture and community, enhanced resilience, improved health literacy, and better access to culturally appropriate support services. This investment reflects Movember’s theory of change, which posits that by empowering Indigenous-led organizations and fostering innovative, culturally relevant programs, lasting positive impacts on Indigenous men's wellbeing can be achieved.
