Applications will be scored by NJOHSP. NJOHSP will submit a list of IJs with all scores to FEMA. FEMA will review the applications.
In the final scoring process, organizations that are at risk due to their ideology, beliefs, or mission are prioritized. Additionally, organizations that have never received federal NSGP funding and/or that are located in an underrepresented/underserved community based on the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool receive additional points applied by FEMA in the scoring process.
Based on the process described above, FEMA will make funding recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security. All final funding determinations will be made by the Secretary of Homeland Security, who retains the discretion to consider other factors and information in addition to FEMA’s funding recommendations. The reviewers score IJs using the NSGP Scoring Matrix.
Before you submit your grant package, it is good practice to review your IJ using the scoring matrix to have the best chance to obtain the maximum number of points. Bonus points may be given for: First-time grantee bonus: Applicants that have not received NSGP funding in the past will receive an additional fifteen (15) bonus points to their total state application score.
Mission-based bonus: To calculate an application's final score, the sum of the applicant's state score and the average of the two federal reviewers' scores will be multiplied by a factor of three (3) for nonprofit groups that are at a high risk of terrorist attacks due to their ideology, beliefs or mission, by a factor of two (2) for medical and educational institutions, and by a factor of one (1) for all others.
Process for creating the final score: State score (max 40) + Federal score (max 40) = IJ score Mission-based Multipliers of 3, 2, or 1 applied to IJ score First-time grantee bonus applied (15 points) What is the period of performance? The period of performance is the length of time that subrecipients have to implement their project(s), accomplish all goals, and expend all grant funding.

A Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is a 12-character alphanumeric identifier assigned to an entity by the System for Award Management, SAM.
gov . As of April 4, 2022, Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) numbers are no longer valid and all organizations applying for the federal NSGP grant MUST have a UEI number. Obtaining a UEI does not cost anything; it is free of charge.
For the FFY2026 NSGP, nonprofit organizations are required to have a valid UEI at the time of the award to be eligible to receive funding. Note: If you receive an award but are ineligible to receive the funds you are no longer considered a first-time awardee and may not receive bonus points for future grant cycles. How do I obtain a UEI for my organization?
Determine whether your organization was previously assigned a DUNS number when applying for federal assistance. If your organization was previously assigned a DUNS Number, it has been replaced by a new UEI value. Login to sam.
gov to check your new UEl. If your organization has not previously applied for federal assistance, you will automatically be assigned a UEl when registering on sam. gov .

What is a Vulnerability Risk Assessment (VRA)? A Vulnerability Risk Assessment (VRA) is an evaluation that identifies threats and hazards based on previous incidents and other intelligence sources.
The assessment will list observations about your vulnerabilities related to planning, training, exercises, contracted security personnel, cybersecurity, and security equipment investments to mitigate your vulnerabilities and help make your facilities more secure. For the federal NSGP, a VRA must be conducted within 2 years of an organization's grant submission date.
If substantial changes have been made to your facility since your last VRA or if you are requesting items not listed in your VRA, your organization will need to have your VRA updated or conduct a new assessment. For more information, visit our security assessments page . How can an organization schedule a VRA?
Contact Federation's Director of Security Initiatives . Contact the Risk Mitigation Planner or Counter-Terrorism Coordinator at your County Prosecutor's Office. Reach out to your local or state law enforcement agency.

The IJ is subject to change each fiscal year, and prior years’ templates will not be accepted. Only use the form for the current fiscal year. Note: This is the only document from the grant package that is forwarded by NJOHSP to DHS/FEMA.

Describe current events with specific attention to incidents impacting organizations that have been targeted due to a similar mission, belief, or ideology. The applicant should make the connection that they are at risk for the same reasons.
Local crimes such as burglary, theft, or vandalism without a terrorism, extremism, or hate-related nexus may provide context justification for NSGP funding. Provide information on the current threat environment . Description of findings from a vulnerability assessment.
Describe any incidents that have occurred at your facility including description, dates, etc. A brief description of any supporting documentation (such as police reports or photographs) that is submitted as part of the application, if applicable.

A VRA must be conducted within 2-3 years of an organization's grant submission date.
If substantial changes have been made to your facility since your last VRA or if you are requesting items not listed in your VRA, your organization will need to have your VRA updated or conduct a new assessment. For more information, visit our security assessments page .
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that Vulnerability Risk Assessments (VRAs) are updated, particularly if security improvements have been made that eliminate previous vulnerabilities.
All VRAs must now include photographs of the facility for which security upgrades are sought, as well as images of specific areas requiring upgrades (e.g., doors needing lock upgrades, windows needing blast film protection, areas where CCTV installation is requested). This requirement applies to VRAs completed by local-, county-, and State-level law enforcement or private security firms.
Failure to update a facility’s VRA and provide the specified photographs may result in disqualification of the grant application. How can an organization schedule a VRA? Contact Federation's Director of Security Initiatives .

In such instances, a case-by-case evaluation will be conducted of the requested equipment within each application to ensure it properly addresses the risks defined in the Vulnerability Risk Assessment (VRA). Can a recipient of NJ NSGP-SP use security personnel at off-site events?
Yes. Off-site event requests will require the following: The physical location of the “Off-Site Event” must be within the geographic boundaries of New Jersey. The “Off-Site Event” must be attended by the nonprofit organization’s membership and/or guests.

FEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.

But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums. Here is how the spending mandates actually stack, who is eligible, and how to build an Investment Justification that survives them.
Read articleOn June 24, 2026, FEMA released more than $1.5 billion across the Homeland Security Grant Program, a $300 million Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and six infrastructure-protection programs — all with an application window closing around July 24. This is the definitive breakdown: how SHSP, UASI, Operation Stonegarden, and the transit, port, Amtrak, and intercity-bus grants differ, what the new FY2026 priorities signal, why almost none of the money comes to you directly from FEMA, and the strategy for competing through your State Administrative Agency.
