What's Wrong With the $2 Million That One Metro Atlanta County Received?
|
[PJ] DeKalb County is one of the most heavily Democrat counties in metro Atlanta. For perspective, this is the county that is largely responsible for sending Cynthia "I Hate Israel" McKinney and Hank "Don’t Tip Guam Over" Johnson to Congress.
The county also recently crowed about a grant that its Board of Election received. The $2 million grant comes with the county’s designation as a Center for Election Excellence by an organization that calls itself the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence. That organization is part of another group called the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
Here’s how local website Decaturish reported on the grant:
Center for Tech and Civic Life
U.S. Alliance For Election Excellence:
Introduced to the world at TED2022 and with funding catalyzed by The Audacious Project, the Alliance is a five-year, $80 million program to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S. election administration.
Launched in April 2018, The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative that’s catalyzing social impact on a grand scale. Housed at TED, the nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, and with support from leading social impact advisor The Bridgespan Group, The Audacious Project convenes funders and social entrepreneurs with the goal of supporting bold solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges. The funding collective is made up of respected organizations and individuals in philanthropy, including the Skoll Foundation, Virgin Unite, The Valhalla Charitable Foundation, ELMA Philanthropies and more. The Audacious Project works with the Science Philanthropy Alliance to identify and vet high-quality basic science projects. Each year The Audacious Project supports a new cohort. The 2021-2022 recipients are The Center for Tech and Civic Life, ClimateWorks: Drive Electric, Code for America, Glasswing International, The International Refugee Assistance Project, myAgro, Noora Health, The Tenure Facility, and Woodwell Climate Research Center.
