Description
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is a competitive federal program funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FEMA and administered in Wyoming by the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security. It helps protect nonprofit organizations at high risk of extremist or terrorist attacks, including places of worship, community centers, and educational facilities.

Its goal is to reduce vulnerabilities at accessible gathering places while connecting nonprofit preparedness with broader state and local security efforts.
