NSGP - GOHSEP | Governor's Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS). It supports the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation.
Core capabilities are those capabilities, organized around five (5) mission areas – Prevention, Protection, Response, Recovery and Mitigation – necessary to: Avoid, prevent or stop a threatened or actual act of terrorism, within the United States. Secure and protect the homeland against acts of terrorism and manmade or natural disasters.
Through emergency disaster and response efforts, save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs after incident. Assist communities affected by an emergency or disaster event to recover effectively. Lessen the impacts of disasters by reducing the loss of life and property.
The building, sustainment and delivery of core capabilities are not exclusive to any single level of government, organization or community. It requires the combined efforts of the whole community to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as local and State-government agencies. Who can Participate in the NSGP Program?
Eligible nonprofit organizations are those organizations: Described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Title 26 of the U.S.C. Exempt from tax under section 501(a); and Determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security to be at high risk of terrorist attack. Eligible nonprofits must also be located within the current fiscal year of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI)-designated urban areas.
Those areas are listed in the NSGP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO). What Activities are Funded Through NSGP? NSGP provides support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements.
The program is designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as State and local government agencies.
Funding can be used for the acquisition and installation of security equipment on real property (including buildings and improvements) owned or leased by the nonprofit organization, specifically in prevention of and/or protection against the risk of a terrorist attack.
Equipment is limited to two (2) categories of items on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Authorized Equipment List (AEL): Physical Security Enhancement Equipment (Category 14) Inspection and Screening Systems (Category 15). The NSGP is a sub-component of the UASI program and States must ensure that 100% of each individual NSGP award is passed through to the non-profit organizations allocated funding by FEMA.
The State Administrative Agent (SAA) is the only entity eligible to apply to FEMA for NSGP funds on behalf of eligible nonprofit organizations. Applications are reviewed through a two (2)-phased State and Federal review process for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, feasibility and how well the Investment Justification (IJ) (project description and justification) address the identified risk.

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.
Read articleThe FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program puts more than $1 billion across three programs — State Homeland Security Program, Urban Area Security Initiative ($584M across 44 cities), and Operation Stonegarden — with a July 24, 2026 deadline. 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.
