Nonprofit Security Grant Program 2024

Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits, including faith-based organizations, can now apply for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) opportunity. NSGP is a competitive grant program that provides funding for projects that enhance physical security and cybersecurity to nonprofit facilities at high risk of a terrorist attack or other extremist attack. NSGP is funded through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and administered in partnership with FEMA and DEMA.

The deadline to apply is May 22, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.

All NSGP activities must be linked to enhancing the security and safety at the physical site of a nonprofit. Nonprofit organizations with multiple sites may apply for up to $150,000 in competitive, reimbursable* funding, for up to three total sites, for a maximum possible award of $450,000. The maximum possible award per site is $150,000.

Applications include an Investment Justification (IJ) document, mission statement, and vulnerability assessment through the online Grant Management System (GMS) portal. Nonprofits applying for more than one site must submit separate applications for each location that include an IJ and vulnerability assessment unique to the individual sites. Applications will be reviewed by DEMA and then forwarded to the DHS/FEMA for final determination of eligibility and award.

To access the GMS portal, applicants must have or create an active my.delaware.gov account at this link and the organization must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Organizations can obtain a UEI through SAM.gov. If an organization is already registered in SAM.gov, the UEI is viewable in the organizations account. Instructions on how to create a my.delaware.gov account and register in the GMS portal are available under the Resources tab on the DEMA website and will be covered during upcoming informational webinars (see below).

Free self-assessment tools and resources are available from the Delaware Information and Analysis Center (DIAC) and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for nonprofits to complete the required vulnerability assessment.

DEMA will host the following webinars for interested NSGP applicants:

  • April 30 at 7:00 p.m.
  • May 2 at 12:00 p.m.

Webinars will overview the application process, best practices, and include a Q&A session.

To register for a webinar, complete the 2024 NSGP Webinar Registration Form.

Additional NSGP information and resources are available at fema.gov/grants/preparedness/nonprofit-security and de.gov/nsgp2024

* NSGP is a reimbursement grant. Awarded nonprofits should anticipate paying for approved project costs initially. Reimbursement is then requested for incurred costs and provided through DEMA. Purchases may be made (and reimbursed) incrementally rather than the entire amount of awarded funds at once. Expenses must align with the nonprofit’s awarded project and occur within the Period of Performance. Unallowable costs will not be reimbursed.

In FY2023, $2.1 million was awarded to 14 Delaware nonprofits. Projects included installing vestibules, fencing, bollards, and outdoor security lighting; purchasing cybersecurity software; CCTV systems; and upgrading windows and doors to be forced-entry resistant.
