Sherman@oem. oregon. gov The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA that helps nonprofits enhance security and reduce the risk of terrorist and extremist attacks.

NSGP is part of a broader suite of preparedness grant programs designed to strengthen the ability of states, localities, tribes, territories, and nonprofit organizations to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and targeted violence. NSGP supports physical and cybersecurity enhancements, emergency preparedness planning, and security training for organizations most at risk.

With a focus on protecting soft targets and crowded places, such as faith-based institutions, schools, and community centers, the program reflects FEMA’s commitment to risk-informed investment, community resilience, and coordination across all levels of government.

NSGP directly supports FEMA’s strategic goals to build a culture of preparedness and strengthen national readiness for catastrophic events, while also addressing today’s evolving threat landscape, including targeted violence, hate-based attacks, and cyber threats. OEM encourages our partners and nonprofit stakeholders to join us in creating a more secure, prepared, and resilient Oregon and nation.

The NSGP provides funding for physical security enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack. The NSGP also seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.

Given the evolving threat landscape, DHS/FEMA continuously evaluates the national risk profile and sets priorities that help ensure the appropriate allocation of scarce security dollars. In assessing the national risk profile, one area attracts the most concern: Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places. Likewise, several enduring security needs crosscut the homeland security enterprise.

The following are second-tier priorities that help recipients implement a comprehensive approach to securing communities: Training and awareness campaigns 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. , and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such Code.
