Description
The Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) facilitates the State Nonprofit Security Grant Program, a competitive funding opportunity for Maine nonprofit organizations seeking to enhance physical security and preparedness capabilities against potential threats or attacks. Its focus is protecting nonprofit facilities and the people who use them against terrorism or other extremist attacks, rather than supporting broader nonprofit activities.
Eligible activities may include physical security enhancements, security equipment installation, target-hardening projects, and contracted security services. Although similar to the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program, Maine’s state program operates separately. MEMA also provides training and technical assistance to help NSGP participants throughout the grant performance period and offers opportunities to discuss program questions.
