Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) supports facility hardening and other physical security enhancements for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS) administers the program in Georgia as part of DHS/FEMA’s broader community preparedness efforts.
Funding supports planning, equipment, training, exercises, and other security-related activities that address capability gaps identified in an organization’s Vulnerability Assessment. The program focuses on protecting soft targets and crowded places while improving nonprofits’ ability to prevent, protect against, prepare for, and respond to attacks. It also seeks to strengthen relationships between nonprofits and state, local, and territorial homeland security agencies through a whole-community approach to preparedness.
