Nonprofit Security Grant (NSGP) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) NOTE: The federal government has not released any information about the Federal Fiscal Year 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program. Please check back for any developments.
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) improves and increases the physical/cybersecurity and facility/target hardening of nonprofit organizations’ facilities at risk of a terrorist of other extremist attack, ultimately safeguarding the lives and property of the American people.
NSGP integrates the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack with broader state and local preparedness efforts. The NSGP provides funds to meet the following three objectives: Enhance equipment and conduct security-related activities to improve the security posture of nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack.
Address and close capability gaps that are identified in individual nonprofit organization Vulnerability Assessments via funding spent on Planning, Equipment, and Training and Exercises that aim to enhance the protection of soft targets and crowded places. Strengthen relationships across non-profit organization, state, local, and territorial homeland security agencies for a whole community approach to preparedness.

Mission statement for the nonprofit organization. The three components of a mission statement include the purpose, values, and goals of the organization. The provided statement should discuss the “who, what, and why” of your organization.
2. Vulnerability Assessment specific to the location/facility being applied for. A vulnerability assessment is used to identify and validate physical security deficiencies of your organization/facility and is the foundation of an NSGP application.
Vulnerability assessments can be provided in the form of a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Self-Assessment ( Facility Security Self-Assessment | CISA ), a state or local law enforcement assessment, an outside contractor’s assessment, or other valid method of assessment. The Vulnerability Assessment is different from a risk/threat assessment.
A risk assessment involves looking outside of an organization to determine external threats that exist that could potentially lead to security issues, whereas a vulnerability assessment involves looking inside the organization for internal vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Projects/activities requested through the NSGP should align to mitigate items identified in the Vulnerability Assessment.
Tip : In preparation to describe how they intend to use NSGP grant funding, nonprofit organizations should think broadly and holistically in their approach to security measures designed to protect buildings and safeguard people. Some physical security control examples include locks, gates, and guards (e.g., contract security).
Although these may be effective measures, there are many additional layers to physical security that can help protect the organization, including creating comprehensive physical security plans, conducting training and exercises (e.g., active shooter, evacuation), identifying countermeasures against intrusion (e.g., access controls), preventing physical security breaches (e.g., security enhanced doors/windows), and monitoring for physical security threats (e.g., cameras, surveillance).
3. Investment Justification (IJ) is a fillable template provided by FEMA. The form is linked below.
The template asks nonprofits to describe the organization, the risks/threats to the organization, and the proposed projects/activities to mitigate security deficiencies (as identified in the Vulnerability Assessment) utilizing NSGP funding. Proposed projects must be for the locations that the nonprofit occupies at the time of application.
Nonprofit organizations must fully answer each question in all sections of the Investment Justification for the form to be considered complete. In their Investment Justification, nonprofit organizations should summarize the most critically important and impactful information.
The Fiscal Year 2025 Investment Justification is the only document submitted to FEMA by the SAA and should be crafted using the identified threats/risks to your Organization, the results of the Vulnerability Assessment of a physical location/structure/building, and details of the requested projects/activities to mitigate or remediate those vulnerabilities with associated estimated costs.
Nonprofit organizations should describe their current threat/risk. Although historic risk may be included for context, the IJ should focus on current threats and risks. Sub-applicants with multiple sites may apply for up to $200,000 per site, for no more than three sites, for a maximum of $600,000 per applicant.
Each unique site must have its own Investment Justification (IJ), vulnerability/risk assessment, and application submitted within AmpliFund. Applicants with previously awarded NSGP projects that are in open status and are not closed at the time of the application are not eligible to apply under FY 2025 NSGP.
