Non-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP)

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provides funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements and activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack. The intent is to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as state and local government agencies.

On Oct. 1, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will distribute $210 million in NSGP funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the second tranche of additional funding to protect faith-based institutions and nonprofit organizations against targeted attacks.
