(NSGP-UA), and $90,000,000 is available to nonprofits located outside designated urban areas (NSGP-S).
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 2021 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.
