Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is a competitive DHS/FEMA initiative administered in New Hampshire by the Department of Safety’s Bureau of Grants Management. It supports nonprofit facilities at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks through physical and cybersecurity improvements, target hardening, and related preparedness activities. Its purpose is to protect people and property while integrating nonprofit preparedness with broader state and local efforts.
Funding supports security equipment acquisition and installation, security and emergency planning, threat-specific training, exercises, and contracted security personnel. Projects must address risks identified in site-specific vulnerability assessments. This is security-project funding rather than research support: technology-development studies and proof-of-concept initiatives are ineligible.
