Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0017314
The Bureau of Counterterrorism is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement under the opportunity titled "Preventing Terrorist Recruitment of Youth Online" (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0017314). The program is framed around a sharp rise in youth involvement in ISIS-linked activity in Europe, with reporting that teenagers made up as much as two-thirds of ISIS-related arrests in 2024 and that children as young as 11 have been implicated in recent plots. The core problem the grant aims to address is the increasing use of social media and online gaming platforms to radicalize and recruit minors, and the growing urgency governments feel as recruitment targets trend younger.
The opportunity seeks one project that combines two major outcomes: reducing the availability and spread of terrorist content online, and equipping vulnerable communities with practical resources to recognize and respond to terrorist threats in digital spaces. In other words, the Bureau is not only looking for content-focused interventions (such as efforts that limit dissemination or improve detection and reporting pathways), but also community-facing work that strengthens awareness and resilience, so families, educators, youth workers, and other local stakeholders can better identify recruitment tactics, grooming behaviors, and warning signs in the platforms where young people spend time.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects an active partnership role during implementation compared to a standard grant. The award ceiling is $1,726,689, and the Bureau anticipates making a single award, signaling a preference for one lead organization to propose an integrated approach rather than multiple smaller, separate projects. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 19.701.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting also references Public International Organizations (PIOs), suggesting the program is attentive to international or multilateral coordination, even though the listed eligible applicant type here is specifically U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The opportunity was created on 2025-06-24, and the original application closing date is 2025-08-07.Apply for DFOP0017314
