The GEC solicitation outlines a focused grant program dedicated to combating foreign malign influence by initiating quantified and qualified research into the scope and scale of propaganda and disinformation operations within the digital ecosystems of games and game-adjacent platforms. This initiative is highly aligned with the GEC's core mission, which can be inferred as countering foreign interference and safeguarding democratic information spaces. By specifically targeting the often-understudied gaming environment, the program seeks to close a critical knowledge gap regarding how adversaries use these channels to manipulate or influence populations. The primary priorities and focuses of this grant are geographically centered on Eastern Europe, a region frequently targeted by state-sponsored disinformation campaigns. Methodologically, the focus demands rigorous, dual-pronged research—both quantified (data-driven metrics and scale) and qualified (in-depth analysis of content and methodology)—to accurately characterize the nature of foreign propaganda and disinformation within this digital space. This specificity ensures that the funded research will generate highly relevant and actionable intelligence for policymakers and platform owners alike, concentrating resources where the threat is most pronounced. The target beneficiaries of this work extend beyond the grant recipient to encompass a crucial coalition of stakeholders. The immediate beneficiaries include governments, private industry partners (gaming and tech companies), and civil society organizations who will be invited to a culminating convening. The ultimate impact goal is to empower these groups with the evidence and shared understanding necessary to develop and implement effective defense strategies. This aims to reduce the public's exposure to foreign manipulation and foster a more resilient information environment within Eastern Europe's gaming community. The expected outcomes are clearly defined as the production of a comprehensive research report detailing the findings, and the successful execution of a high-level, multi-sector convening to disseminate and discuss that report alongside related research. Measurable results will include the completion and quality of the report, the attendance and caliber of participants at the convening, and the subsequent discussions or policy recommendations generated. The GEC's strategic priorities are served by this program's Theory of Change: that rigorous, shared research leads to an informed, collaborative stakeholder network, which ultimately results in better-coordinated, data-driven countermeasures against foreign disinformation.

The William Penn Foundation is offering Climate Resilience Planning Grants to support community-driven, place-based climate resilience plans. This initiative aligns with the foundation's broader mission to foster a sustainable and vibrant future by addressing critical environmental challenges. By focusing on planning efforts, the foundation aims to empower communities to proactively adapt to the impacts of climate change, thereby strengthening their long-term resilience and well-being. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are residents living in census tracts designated as overburdened and underserved by the Council on Environmental Quality’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, located within the cities of Philadelphia or Camden. The impact goal is to advance equitable climate resilience planning, ensuring that vulnerable communities are at the forefront of developing solutions that address their specific needs and vulnerabilities. The foundation seeks to support plans that will primarily serve these populations, promoting environmental justice and fostering a more equitable distribution of resources and protective measures against climate impacts. The program prioritizes projects occurring in Philadelphia or Camden, with a particular interest in plans that will serve overburdened and underserved communities. While organizations proposing projects in partnership with others will be considered on their individual merits, the most competitive proposals are expected to demonstrate robust partnerships that leverage complementary strengths, resources, and expertise. This focus on collaboration underscores the foundation's strategic priority of fostering collective action to tackle complex environmental issues effectively. Expected outcomes include the development of comprehensive, community-driven climate resilience plans that are tailored to the unique contexts of Philadelphia and Camden. Measurable results could include the creation of actionable strategies for climate adaptation, increased community engagement in resilience planning, and the establishment of strong, collaborative networks among organizations working on climate issues. The foundation's theory of change likely posits that by investing in robust planning and fostering partnerships, communities will be better equipped to implement effective resilience strategies, ultimately leading to a more climate-resilient region and improved quality of life for its residents.
