[Chapter-delegates] Apply Now: 2025 Global Encryption Day Mini-Grants – Limited Spots Available!

[Nancy Quiros]

Dear Chapters Leaders,

To celebrate Global Encryption Day (October 21) in 2025, let us join our efforts to protect end-to-end encryption and defeat any proposals that undermine it.

We’ve already shown how attempts to create backdoors in end-to-end encryption weaken security. Let us to continue our work to protect Encryption as future for all!

The 2025 Encryption Day Grant applications will be accepted from 5 August through 28 August, 2025 (or until 50 grants have been distributed). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by Internet Society staff to determine whether they meet the eligibility requirements and are appropriately aligned with Global Encryption Day. We encourage applicants to apply early as funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please find below the eligibility criteria:

  *   The activity/event must be held during the Global Encryption Coalition’s Global Encryption Day (21 October 2025). Activities/events may be held from 21 September to 21 October, 2025.
  *   Mini-grants are limited to one per GEC member.
  *   Applicants must have an official bank account that can accept money from a U.S. entity in their name (based on their legal registration) to be eligible for a grant.
  *   Grantees will be required to supply a brief report via our grant management system, called Fluxx, to the Internet Society Foundation, outlining a summary of the event, attendance, and relevant quotes.
  *   Grantees will also be required to consent to the event being posted on the Global Encryption Coalition Master Calendar unless it is a closed event.

Once again, the applications will need to be submitted via Fluxx. Only applications submitted online via Fluxx will be considered.
