The Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the Fiscal Year 2019 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) in the amount of $60,000,000, available nationwide to nonprofits. Of this amount, $50,000,000 is available to nonprofits located in designated urban areas, and $10,000,000 is available to nonprofits located outside designated urban areas. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) is the state administering agency for these funds.
The NSGP funding is focused on target hardening activities. The funding can be used for the acquisition and installation of security equipment on real property. Nonprofit organizations that are eligible to submit applications for the FY 2019 NSGP are those organizations that are described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such code.

Hi,
I am wondering where we find out the requirements to apply for the grant for our church?
Thank you for your time!

I just heard about these grants, months after the May 12, 2019 deadline. Will there be another round of funding for this year ?
When can we apply for the grants for security purposes for our mosque.
Please let us know the release of the 2020 funding and where to start to request this funding and justification thereof. Thank you

If it too late to apply for 2020 grant funds, please advise where to find an application for 2021 funds and its requirements. Thanks you.
Please link me to any new grants for 2020. I am interested in securing funding for security equipment for my church.
