Project Title
For project support of service and leadership opportunities for cohorts of opportunity youth
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
Across the United States, 4.3 million opportunity youth, or young people ages 16 to 24 who are out of school and work, remain disconnected from the systems that build the skills, knowledge, and sense of purpose essential for productive livelihoods and civic leadership. YouthBuild Global (YBG) addresses this gap by integrating academic instruction, vocational training, and community service to prepare participants for careers in various in-demand fields. They support a network of more than 350 local programs around the world, embedding service-learning, community projects, and leadership development directly into education and workforce activities. With support from Carnegie, YBG would strengthen civic programming across more than 115 of these programs in the U.S, delivering training and technical assistance to more than 150 staff members and enabling an estimated 2,500 young people to complete service, job training, and leadership activities. Key deliverables include staff training sessions, and program implementation support for 20 to 25 local service projects.

Description
Serving the most diverse county in the nation—where 48 percent of its 2.4 million residents are foreign-born and an estimated 180 languages are spoken—Queens Public Library (QPL) has played a pivotal role in the social and civic fabric of New York City since its founding in 1896. In October 2024, Carnegie awarded a $1.2 million grant to QPL for educational and career services for immigrants and teens who are new to or entering the American workforce. A renewal grant will allow QPL to sustain ten English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes that reach nearly 1,000 learners while launching three new adult basic literacy classes. The library also plans to serve 2,400 high school students and their families by expanding postsecondary readiness programs to include both college and vocational career pathways. To further support economic mobility, at least 500 additional patrons, including English-language learners and teens, will receive free workforce training and certifications in high-demand industries such as construction and hospitality.

Project Title
In support of the local news coverage of the 2026 midterm elections
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
12 months
Description
Since 1979, C-SPAN has been a leading source of nonpartisan, unfiltered access to the workings of American democracy. As the 2026 midterms approach, many House, Senate, and gubernatorial races will receive little to no on-the-ground coverage due to the continued decline of local newsrooms, leaving voters increasingly reliant on paid advertising and partisan media. Corporation support will help launch C-SPAN’s Campaign 2026 initiative, which will address this gap by engaging their multimedia reporters in key regions and partnering with local nonprofit newsrooms to provide and distribute free, primary-source campaign reporting.

For a project on displacing disinformation: local threat intelligence and response hub on migration-related information threats
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
36 months
Description
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) will establish a local threat intelligence and response hub to help governments and civil society organizations along the Eastern Mediterranean-Balkan migration corridor, spanning Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, the Western Balkans, and Central Europe, detect and respond to harmful online narratives that endanger migrants and fuel social polarization.

Project Title
To support a coalition for democratic peace and resilience in Europe
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
36 months
Description
Malign actors including Russia are spreading disinformation, using illicit financing, and exploiting institutional weaknesses in a coordinated effort to undermine democratic institutions across Europe. Non-state actors (NSA) can play a critical role in strengthening democratic resilience, yet civil society organizations struggle to collectively respond to malign coalitions because of limited resources and collective action challenges. The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) will bridge this structural gap by developing a transnational coalition that connects NSAs to share information and collectively address emerging challenges by authoritarian actors across Europe. The project will identify prospective coalition members, track hostile actors, share information, hold roundtables, and formalize the coalition into a self-sustaining entity. Strengthening the capacity of European civil society organizations to respond to threats will increase government accountability, improve transparency, and support democratic peace.

Project Title
For a project on reimagining mobility systems for a safer world
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
36 months
Description
Limited legal migration pathways and fragmented policies can drive irregular migration that fuels criminal groups and destabilizes fragile regions. Expanding legal migration can promote stability and peace by disrupting dangerous irregular migration routes exploited by human traffickers and organized crime. MPI will address a gap in the global migration research and policy landscape by showing how legal migration can undercut criminal economies, reduce tension, and offer alternatives to recruitment by armed actors. MPI’s project will combine risk analysis, evidence-based policy tools, technology-enabled recruitment reforms, and employer-led cohesion programming. By providing the “practical case” for regular migration, MPI intends to demonstrate that well-managed legal channels can reduce irregular flows and weaken armed groups’ ability to recruit and operate.

Project Title
For a project tracking the use of technologies by violent non-state actors in Africa
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
The use of commercial drone and autonomous technologies has given violent non-state actors, including insurgents and related criminal networks, the ability to launch sophisticated air attacks once limited to major militaries. Yet efforts to manage these risks remain fragmented and largely reactive, focusing on specific hardware or after-the-fact controls rather than the cross-border networks that enable proliferation. To address this threat, the Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University will build an early-warning system to track and forecast how drone components move through targeted illicit markets in Africa. Using a custom forecasting model, the project will identify where the next trafficking corridors and operational drone hubs are likely to emerge before they become active threats, helping governments and private-sector companies implement systems to block high-risk buyers from accessing sensitive technology.

Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
Public understanding of nuclear dangers remains low and vulnerable to misinformation, especially as nuclear risks continue to increase. Traditional education and media often fail to reach younger audiences who increasingly turn to digital platforms for news and information. To fill this gap, the popular YouTube-based Complexly will produce a series of educational videos designed as accessible civic education for younger audiences through its SciShow channel, examining nuclear risk, nuclear misinformation, and the real-world consequences of current nuclear policies. The series will include longer “Deep Dive” videos, shorter “Infusion” videos, and supplemental educational resources for educators. By combining expert-informed content with widely accessible formats, the project will expand access to accurate, engaging information on nuclear security issues across both digital and traditional classroom settings.

As a one-time grant for support of More Perfect's State of American Civics National Poll
Date
Sep. 10, 2026
Duration
12 months
Description
More Perfect is a coalition of more than 100 partners working to protect and revitalize U.S. democracy as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026 and beyond. Because civic education is a core precondition of a healthy democracy, the 250th anniversary of the United States offers a timely opportunity to elevate the national conversation about civics and catalyze parallel dialogue at the state and local levels. Despite growing attention, significant gaps remain in public understanding of Americans’ knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and preferences related to civics education and its connection to American identity. To help address these gaps, More Perfect, in partnership with other civic leaders, will commission a major national poll to assess current public understanding and establish a definitive snapshot of American civics. Bipartisan Republican and Democratic pollsters will ensure balance, credibility, and broad public trust. Findings will be released in the weeks leading up to July 4, 2026, leveraging the Semiquincentennial to maximize visibility and strengthen the case for sustained investment in high-quality civic education nationwide.

Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab (Yale HRL) is a leader in accessing and analyzing open-source information related to peace and security. Currently, Yale HRL builds bespoke data infrastructure for each crisis it monitors, an approach that is costly, inefficient, and limits data sharing with critical stakeholders. Carnegie funding would enable the Lab to replace this with reusable infrastructure and standardized protocols for tracking displaced populations and automating assessments of key indicators including population movement, food security, building damage, and sanitation conditions. The platform will also establish data sharing agreements with UN agencies, NGOs, media, and others to ensure that analysis reaches decision-makers in real time. Yale HRL brings over two decades of geospatial expertise to this work and has contributed to several humanitarian and accountability outcomes in Sudan and Ukraine, including evidence supporting six ICC indictments.

Project Title
For a project to scale anticipatory action for displacement (SAAD) to provide a foundation for peace
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is expanding its model for anticipating and mitigating conflict-induced displacement into Nigeria and Colombia. Most responses to conflict-driven displacement are reactive, intervening only after violence has escalated and communities have fled. This project addresses that gap by combining displacement forecasting with community-based early warning systems to identify displacement risks three to four months in advance and mobilize pre-agreed responses before crises fully materialize. In Nigeria, the project will link forecasts to social cohesion programming and humanitarian mediation to reduce escalation in areas affected by recurrent inter-communal conflict. In Colombia, it will integrate forecast triggers within an existing rapid response mechanism to shorten response times and reduce protection risks. DRC is one of a small number of organizations working in the emerging field of anticipatory action for conflict, and co-chairs the Global Working Group on Anticipatory Action for Displacement with the International Organization for Migration. The project aims to contribute to reducing forced displacement and its humanitarian consequences while generating evidence and learning for the broader field.

Project Title
To support tax credit funds to support access to learning opportunities and services for public school students
Date
Sep. 10, 2026
Duration
12 months
Description
The New Federal Tax Credit, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, could become the largest federal K-12 education investment in history, surpassing Title I. However, it was designed to primarily support private and religious school tuition, and it may divert resources away from public schools and increase privatization. For states that opt in, taxpayers will receive an annual credit for donating to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs), which then fund private school expenses for eligible students. States wishing to maximize this credit to support public school students with new educational opportunities must act quickly within the next eight months to develop the necessary infrastructure. EducationCounsel (EC) will support key stakeholders and state leaders in participating in the design and implementation of the program through the Department of the Treasury’s regulatory process, state policies, and program development. Together, they will develop a system of direct services to deliver high-quality opportunities for low-income public-school students and their families, while expanding the field through briefings to youth development programs.

For a study and showcase on Institutional Equity, College Completion, and Subsequent Earnings
Date
Sep. 10, 2026
Duration
12 months
Description
American higher education faces growing skepticism as a driver of social mobility, due to high tuition costs and low graduation rates, which correlate with weaker post-college earnings. Vassar’s study builds on prior research identifying recurrent themes among high-performing colleges. The longitudinal study will examine five institutions that have turned around their completion rates over the last five to seven years, aiming to uncover actionable steps for sustainable improvement. The result will be recognition for top performers, some of whom we expect to be previously unheralded, and a roadmap of data-driven strategies to help other low-resource institutions boost completion and earnings. Findings will be presented at a conference designed in collaboration with the Andrew Carnegie Foundation that gathers leading scholars, educators, policymakers, and researchers to advance policy and practice on college completion.

Educators struggle to prepare students for both careers and citizenship due to limited research on how civic and workforce skills affect economic mobility and democratic engagement. To address this, the Project on Workforce (PoW)—a Harvard collaboration across the Kennedy School, Business School, and Graduate School of Education—will produce a white paper informed by research and expert consultations. With Carnegie’s support, PoW will analyze the intersection of civics and workforce development and create an integrated framework that moves beyond the false choice between civic engagement and career success. Key deliverables include a white paper (2027), two cross-sector convenings at Carnegie’s offices (fall 2026 and summer 2027), and a communications strategy using storytelling and thought leadership. The project aims to catalyze new initiatives that equip young people for both economic mobility and meaningful civic participation while advancing research and uniting educators around shared goals.

Project Title
For a project institutionalizing an “International Crime Lab” to develop city-based strategies for non-state criminal actors in Latin America
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
36 months
Description
Latin America and the Caribbean account for only eight percent of the world’s population but roughly one-third of global homicides, yet many governments lack the tools to fully understand how non-state actors contribute to this challenge or design effective interventions. The University of Chicago’s International Crime Lab (ICL) seeks to address this gap through a four-stage model: mapping criminal systems; co-designing interventions with city officials, police, and prosecutors; testing those interventions through rigorous evaluation; and deploying successful approaches to new cities. Working in Medellín, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro, the ICL will test interventions with findings scaled through an Organized Crime Leadership Academy training 50-100 policymakers annually, co-funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. The project aims to contribute to reducing violence and weakening criminal control over communities, improving safety and stability for people living under the reach of dangerous non-state actors.

Mar. 05, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
China’s expanding role as a global great power has prompted increasing demands for expert, objective, and rigorous study of its foreign relations. Politically expedient decision-making without the benefit of such study will only serve to intensify heightened U.S.-China tensions. By supporting post-doctoral fellows with a focus on China’s international relations who have recently received their PhDs, Columbia University’s China and the World Program (C&WP) seeks to hone scholars’ expertise in this area and assist them in acquiring and keeping teaching positions in academic institutions. Through its Carnegie-supported fellowship and public events, C&WP will continue to play a vital role in meeting the high demand for scholarship and education for the next generation of students about the challenges and opportunities posed by China’s rise.

Project Title
For core support of Prelude
Date
Mar. 05, 2026
Duration
24 months
Description
High-quality work-based learning experiences greatly enhance college and career outcomes, yet only 2 percent of high school students nationwide participate in internships, a gap that disproportionately affects lower-income students lacking professional networks and career exposure. Prelude addresses this issue with their Learn & Earn high school internship model, which integrates structured skill development, mentorship, and career exploration into the school day, showing stronger program persistence and providing financial benefits as students earn $5,500 annually. Founded in June 2021, Prelude has since expanded their program from serving 29 students in one high school to 84 students across five cities. With Carnegie support, Prelude aims to double the enrollment in the Learn & Earn program, reaching 300 student interns in two years, who will work 6-10 hours weekly with employer partners such as Audible, Wells Fargo, NFI Industries, and The Campbell’s Company. The program not only equips students with essential professional skills and workplace experience but also significantly boosts their potential earnings, with a goal of 90 percent of students enrolling in college or securing full-time employment within six months of graduation.
