    Summary

    The Non-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provides funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements to non-profit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack and located within one of the FY 2015 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)-designated Urban Areas. The program seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of non-profit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack with broader state and local preparedness efforts. The NSGP also serves to promote emergency preparedness coordination and collaboration activities between public and private community representatives as well as state and local government agencies.

    The FY 2015 NSGP objectives are to support efforts that:

    • Build and sustain core capabilities;
    • Strengthen governance integration; and
    • Encourage a whole community approach to security and emergency management

     

    NSGP allocates funds based on risk analysis, effectiveness and integration with broader state and local preparedness efforts. NSGP funds focus on target-hardening activities. These funds may be used to purchase or install security equipment on property owned or leased by the nonprofit organization, specifically to prevent against the risk of a terrorist attack.
