Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funds target hardening, physical security enhancements, and related activities at nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack. Funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and administered in Wisconsin by Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM), the program addresses threats that may arise from an organization’s ideology, beliefs, or mission.
NSGP seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness with broader state and local preparedness efforts and promote collaboration among public and private community representatives and government agencies. Its priorities include protecting soft targets and crowded places. Supported activities must enhance security and safety at the nonprofit’s physical site. The State program guidance includes security equipment acquisition and installation, training, exercises, and contract security.
