SPEARHEADED BY PARTNERSGLOBAL (PG) AND DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH A WIDE-REACHING CONSORTIUM, PXP' S OBJECTIVES FOCUS ON FOSTERING SOLIDARITY, BUILDING LEADERSHIP, IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY TO RESOURCES, AND ENHANCING LEARNING AMONG ACTIVISTS, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS, HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED COMMUNITIES, AND THEIR ALLIES. THE POWERED BY THE PEOPLE (PXP) PROJECT ENTERED FY25 WITH A FULL CONGRESSIONAL OBLIGATION OF $8.36 MILLION FOR THE ACTIVITY YEAR, FURTHERING ITS WELL-ESTABLISHED MECHANISMS, DEMONSTRATING A STRONG COMMITMENT TO ITS MISSION GLOBALLY THROUGH DIRECT SUPPORT, COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVES, AND STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING. BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF FY25, THE PROJECT SUCCESSFULLY DISTRIBUTED APPROXIMATELY $10.3 MILLION IN FUNDS THROUGH ITS CONSORTIUM OF 28 MOVEMENT-SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS. A TOTAL OF 180 TARGETED AWARDS WERE DISBURSED, SUPPORTING A DIVERSE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AND INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. FROM OCTOBER 2024 THROUGH THE PROJECT'S TERMINATION IN FEBRUARY 2025, PXP CONTINUED ITS ROBUST GRANTMAKING AIMED AT ADDRESSING BOTH URGENT AND LONG-TERM SYSTEMIC ISSUES GLOBALLY. DURING THIS BRIEF PERIOD, THE PROJECT CONTINUED ITS STRATEGIC GRANT ALLOCATIONS ACROSS NUMEROUS THEMATIC AREAS VITAL TO GLOBAL DEMOCRATIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. DESPITE ITS PREMATURE TERMINATION IN FEBRUARY 2025, THE PXP PROJECT'S STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING, TARGETED SUPPORT MECHANISMS, AND ADAPTIVE INTERVENTIONS SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCED THE CAPACITIES OF NONVIOLENT CIVIC ACTORS GLOBALLY. THE PROJECT'S EFFORTS PROVIDED A POWERFUL DEMONSTRATION OF THE EFFICACY OF GRASSROOTS-DRIVEN APPROACHES IN FOSTERING DEMOCRATIC RESILIENCE, ECONOMIC STABILITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION. THE STRONG ALIGNMENT WITH BROADER U.S. FOREIGN POLICY GOALS UNDERSCORES THE ENDURING STRATEGIC VALUE OF SUPPORTING GLOBAL CIVIC MOVEMENTS AND LAYS A FOUNDATIONAL ROADMAP FOR FUTURE INTERVENTIONS TO ENHANCE GLOBAL STABILITY, DEMOCRACY, AND PROSPERITY.AT THE TIME OF ITS ABRUPT TERMINATION A MERE 16 MONTHS SINCE ITS INCEPTION -- PXP AWARDED NEARLY 47% OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF ITS IMPLEMENTED BUDGET DIRECTLY TO GLOBAL MAJORITY ORGANIZATIONS AND COLLABORATIVES, WHICH MADE UP 52% OF THE PXP CONSORTIUM. THE PXP INITIATIVE DELIVERED ON THE PROMISE OF LOCALLY LED DEVELOPMENT AS A CORE PRINCIPLE OF ITS MODEL, ENSURING EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY FOR AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, WHILE ACTIVELY BUILDING RESILIENT AND SELF-RELIANT PARTNERS AND ENTITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE.
