The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is an important component of the Administration’s larger, coordinated effort to strengthen the Nation’s overall level of preparedness. NSGP provides funding to strengthen the security of nonprofit organizations that are deemed at high risk of a potential terrorist attack and are located within one of the specific UASI-eligible urban areas.
The FY2008 NSGP provides funding support for target-hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are deemed at high risk of a potential terrorist attack. While this funding is provided specifically to high-risk nonprofit organizations, the program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader State and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, State and local government agencies, and Citizen Corps Councils.
The UASI Nonprofit Security Grant Program will provide $15 million to high-risk nonprofit organizations. Each nonprofit organization may apply through the State for a grant award of up to $75,000.
Nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organizations that are at deemed high risk of a potential terrorist attack and are located within one of the specific FY08 UASI-eligible Urban Areas are eligible to submit applications through their State Administrative Agency (SAA).
Criteria for determining eligible applicants who are at high risk of terrorist attack include, but are not limited to:
Not all eligible nonprofit organizations and UASI communities are guaranteed to receive funding under the FY 2008 NSGP. Allocation decisions will be made based on risk and how well applicants address program requirements through their investment justifications.
