Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is a competitive, federally funded pass-through program administered in Alaska by the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM). It supports physical security, cybersecurity, and facility hardening for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attack. Alaska emphasizes target hardening, allowable security equipment, staff security training, planning, and exercises.
Projects must address documented vulnerabilities at the nonprofit’s physical location. Examples include security cameras, reinforced doors, access controls, barriers, lighting, security plans, and preparedness training. The program also seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness with broader state and local efforts and strengthen relationships with homeland security agencies. The funding and requirements below describe the FY 2026 cycle.
