State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is a grant from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) that funds cybersecurity improvements for state and local government entities across California.

Eighty percent of total state allocations must support local governments, and twenty-five percent must support rural areas.
Eligible subrecipients include local governments, school districts, special districts, and tribal entities. Funding is allocated in accordance with California's SLCGP Cybersecurity Plan, which was approved by FEMA and CISA in September 2023. California received $7.
9 million in first-year funding. Proposals are submitted through Cal OES when Competitive Funding Opportunities are announced on the Cal OES website and State Grants Portal.

Join the Cal OES Grants Management Mailing List . Through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, Congress established the State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act, which established the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, appropriating $1 billion nationwide to be awarded over four years. In FY 2022, $183.
5 million was made available nationwide under the SLCGP, with varying funding amounts allocated over four years from the IIJA. Each state and territory will receive a funding allocation as determined by the statutory formula. 80% of total state allocations must support local governments, while 25% of the total state allocations must support rural areas/jurisdictions; these amounts may overlap.
This federal grant program is jointly administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). As the State Administrative Agency, Cal OES will administer the funds pursuant to California’s SLCGP allocation. The IIJA requires the funds to be allocated according to a state cybersecurity plan developed by a cybersecurity planning committee.
The California Cybersecurity Integration Center (Cal-CSIC) formed a subcommittee of the California Cybersecurity Task Force called the Cybersecurity Investment Planning Subcommittee for this purpose (CCTF-CIPS) in late 2022. The CCTF-CIPS serves as the planning committee for purposes of the grant program and is open to all potential grant subrecipients.
California’s Cybersecurity Plan was approved by FEMA and CISA at the end of September, 2023; disbursement of SLCGP funds is awaiting approval of individual projects named in the plan, and funds will be released to California per-project as those projects are approved by FEMA and CISA. State-level projects identified in the Cybersecurity Plan encompass all sub-recipient applications that will subsequently align to those.
The Cal OES State & Local Projects Unit is coordinating closely with the Cal-CSIC and our federal partners at FEMA and CISA to implement and administer the SLCGP and ensure all grant requirements are met.
In coordination with the CCTF-CIPS and the Department of Technology, the Cal-CSIC and OES developed California’s initial SLCGP Cybersecurity Plan which is posted here: All funding allocation decisions will be made in accordance with the Cybersecurity Plan and SLCGP requirements.
SLCGP Application Process for Sub-Recipients Eligible subrecipients for the SLCGP (see FY22 NOFO page 9 or FY23 NOFO page 14), will submit their proposed projects to Cal OES once the Competitive Funding Opportunity (CFO) is opened and announced on the Cal OES website and State Grants Portal. Proposals will be evaluated, and awards allocated in accordance with program requirements and the Cybersecurity Plan.

On June 15, FEMA opened simultaneous application windows for the FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant ($337 million) and the FY 2026 Emergency Operations Center Grant ($83 million). Both close July 15. The combined $420 million pool funds personnel, training, equipment, planning, and EOC construction across state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. The single-month window is unusually tight for two flagship preparedness programs that have historically opened in late winter. Here is the strategic read on activity eligibility, the EMPG-versus-EOC split, the formula versus competitive mechanics, and how applicants should sequence work in a 30-day cycle.
