Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a competitive, annually appropriated Department of Homeland Security program administered federally by FEMA and in New Mexico through DHSEM. It funds physical security enhancements, cybersecurity, facility hardening, and related preparedness activities for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks.
Investments must address security gaps documented in a facility-specific vulnerability assessment. Supported work includes security equipment, planning, training, exercises, and contracted security. The program also seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness with broader state and local efforts. Its priorities include protecting soft targets and crowded places, strengthening cybersecurity, supporting homeland security task forces and fusion centers, enhancing election security, and supporting border crisis response and enforcement.
