What foreign NGO, The ADL, are requesting US Government Funding for -

ADL led efforts on the following provisions included in the final bill:

  • $305 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program – a 22% increase from the previous year’s funding. This program will provide critical grants to nonprofits and faith communities to protect against continued threats of hate-driven violence, including protecting synagogues and other Jewish communal institutions from antisemitic threats.

 

  • Unprecedented levels of funding to improve hate crimes reporting, investigation, prosecution, and overall prevention with $10 million for programs authorized under the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act (doubled from the previous year), $25 million in grants under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (a 92% increase from Fiscal Year 2022), $10 million to support community-based efforts to prevent and respond to hate crimes (also doubling the previous year’s funding), and over $25 million for the Community Relations Service.

 

  • $1.5 million each to fund the office of the U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism (20% increase from the previous year’s funding) and the U.S. Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues (50% increase from Fiscal Year 2022), as well as $1 million to counter global white supremacist extremism.

 

  • $2 million to fund the Never Again Education Act to support Holocaust education across the U.S.

 

  • Funding of several programs to study and combat extremism and hate on and offline: $7.5 million for domestic violent extremism research; $20 million for the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention grant program; increased funding to investigate extremist violence and domestic terrorism; and increased funding to further support prosecutions related to the January 6 attack on the Capitol and domestic terrorism cases.

 

  • Congress expressed urgency that the Administration should report on efforts to counter extremism on and offline, to secure communities from hate, and to address extremism in law enforcement and in the military.

 

  • Authorization of the “Benjamin Berell Ferencz Congressional Gold Medal Act,” in recognition of the last living Nuremberg prosecutor.

 

  • Authorization of the Electoral Count Reform Act, to secure our democracy by modernizing the process for certifying and counting electoral votes in presidential elections. Common-sense reforms like these can mitigate conspiracies and other efforts to undermine our democracy and help address the nexus of democratic backsliding and political violence.
