Nonprofit Security Grant Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your nonprofit qualifies for federal funding to help pay for physical security upgrades and protection against attacks.

This program provides federal funding to help nonprofit organizations strengthen their physical security to protect against potential terrorist attacks.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for nonprofit organizations that are considered at risk of terrorist attacks.

What you get

You can receive funding to pay for various physical security enhancements. This helps your organization upgrade its infrastructure to better protect people and property.

What it costs you

While the funding itself is a grant, the application process is competitive. You will need to invest time and administrative effort to prepare a strong proposal to compete with other applicants.

The catch to know

To be successful, you cannot simply ask for money; you are required to undergo and provide a formal vulnerability assessment to prove where your security gaps exist.

How to apply

  1. Review the eligibility requirements for your specific type of nonprofit.
  2. Conduct a formal assessment to identify your security vulnerabilities.
  3. Prepare a detailed application outlining the specific security improvements you need.
  4. Submit your application through the official portal.
