Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) (Colorado) is a grant from the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) that funds nonprofit organizations in Colorado at high risk of terrorist attacks to enhance their physical security. Awards of up to $50,000 support target hardening measures and other security improvements designed to protect at-risk organizations.

Eligible applicants are Colorado nonprofits deemed at elevated risk due to their ideology, beliefs, or mission, and a vulnerability assessment is required. Organizations are typically invited to apply for the state program if not funded through the federal FEMA NSGP. The program promotes coordination between nonprofit, public, and private sector preparedness efforts.
