The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded the Prevention Practitioners Network of Eradicate Hate a grant of $962,704 to fund an initiative to build safer, more inclusive communities by addressing the root causes of hate-fueled violence.
This DHS grant will help fund a project called THRIVE, the Technical Help and Resources for Interventions against Violent Extremism.
“THRIVE will provide customized support to help violence prevention projects become more effective,” said Brette Steele, president of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit. “Specifically, the initiative will provide funding for interactive workshops, expert guidance, and ongoing collaboration amongst grantees using a cohort model over the next two years.”
The Prevention Practitioners Network will implement THRIVE in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research on Targeted Violence, formerly the Collaboratory Against Hate, and Sabai IRB, formerly Castle.
THRIVE will facilitate a series of practical workshops, guidance on project planning and data collection, along with networking opportunities to strengthen collaboration among prevention practitioners.
DHS’s Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant program funds projects that help practitioners and communities identify and respond to threats of violence before they escalate.
Eradicate Hate Global Summit is an organization that provides a unique, multidisciplinary forum to share ideas and build working relationships to drive the development and deployment of effective approaches to reduce hate-fueled violence.
