Description
The Non-Profit Security Grant (NSGP), administered by the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM), is a competitive program supporting security-related and physical security enhancements for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and houses of worship. It funds improvements at the locations these organizations use, with requests tied to a current vulnerability/risk assessment for each proposed site.
The program’s Authorized Equipment List defines eligible security investments, including access controls, alarms, cameras, protective barriers, notification systems, and cybersecurity equipment. Its scope also includes certain security-supporting power systems and installation costs. Requested items must be listed and approved for NSGP use. ADEM’s Homeland Security Branch provides program questions and application assistance.
