Fiscal Year 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program

The Fiscal Year 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aims to enhance the physical and cybersecurity of nonprofit organizations at risk of terrorist attacks. The program has two funding streams: NSGP for Urban Areas (NSGP-UA), targeting nonprofits in designated high-risk urban areas, and NSGP for States (NSGP-S), for those outside these areas. With a total funding of $274.5 million, the program anticipates 56 awards ranging from approximately $261,630 to over $29 million. Eligible applicants must be State Administrative Agencies (SAAs), which submit applications on behalf of nonprofits classified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Funding may cover planning, equipment, training, and exercises for improving organizational security. Nonprofits may apply for up to $200,000 per site, with a maximum of 600,000 across multiple sites. The NSGP not only addresses immediate security needs but also integrates efforts into broader state and local preparedness strategies. Applications are evaluated based on factors such as risk mitigation planning, threat assessment, and organizational collaboration. Overall, the program reflects DHS's commitment to safeguarding vulnerable communities against evolving threats.
