The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is one of three grant programs that support DHS/FEMA’s focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as nonprofits, to prevent, protect against, prepare for, and respond to terrorist or other extremist attacks.
Donor Name: Department of Homeland Security
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/24/2024
Size of the Grant: More than $1 million
Grant Duration: 3 Years
Details:
These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the nation’s communities against potential terrorist or other extremist attacks.
In FY 2024, there are two funding sources appropriated for nonprofit organizations:
- NSGP – Urban Area (NSGP-UA): NSGP-UA funds nonprofit organizations located within FY 2024 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)-designated high-risk urban areas; and
- NSGP – State (NSGP-S): NSGP-S funds nonprofit organizations located outside of a FY 2024 UASI-designated high-risk urban area. Under NSGP-S, each state will receive a target allocation for nonprofit organizations in the state located outside of FY 2024 UASI-designated high-risk urban areas.
Goals
The NSGP will improve and increase the physical/cyber security and facility/target hardening of nonprofit organizations’ facilities at risk of a terrorist of other extremist attack, ultimately safeguarding the lives and property of the American people. All NSGP activities must be linked to enhancing the security and safety at the physical site of the nonprofit organization. Concurrently, the NSGP will integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack with broader state and local preparedness efforts.
Objectives
The objective of the FY 2024 NSGP is to provide funding for physical and cybersecurity
enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack within the period of performance. The NSGP also seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts. Lastly, via funding spent on Planning, Organizational, Equipment, Training, and Exercises (POETE) towards enhancing the protection of soft targets and crowded places, the NSGP seeks to address and close capability gaps identified in individual nonprofit organization Vulnerability Assessments.
Priorities
Given the evolving threat landscape, DHS/FEMA has evaluated the national risk profile and set priorities that help ensure appropriate allocation of scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile for FY 2024, one area warrants the most concern under the NSGP:
- Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded place
