Federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program
DHS/FEMA recently announced a Notice for the FY 2025 Federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP-S) application cycle.
From the 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity, "because of the timing of the FY 2025 NSGP Program, the NSGP-S and NSGP-UA funding will be issued as risk-based allocations to each state and territory. Subawards will still be governed by the competitive process described below; however, this will occur after award of the state- and territory-based allocations to ensure that all funds can be obligated prior to the end of the fiscal year."
More information can be found below and will be updated as necessary.
Please email DEMHS.NSGP-S@ct.gov for more information.
