Deadline to Apply is Jan. 6, 2025
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program – National Security Supplemental (NSGP-NSS) is a competitive reimbursement grant program intended to provide federal funding for physical security enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations that are at risk of a terrorist attack. The NSGP-NSS seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.
The NSS supplemental funding previously was allocated as part of the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024.
The NSGP-NSS includes two pools of funding for registered 501(c)(3) organizations:
- NSS-S (State = all counties other than Marion and Hamilton counties)
- NSS-UA (Urban Area = Marion and Hamilton counties ONLY)
Please be sure to complete the correct application based on your location: S for all counties other than Marion and Hamilton or UA for Hamilton and Marion counties only. The application should be downloaded FIRST before completing and then sent to grants@dhs.in.gov as an email attachment by 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 6, 2025.
Due to the deadline to return applications to FEMA, the application period for NSGP-NSS funding will be short. All proposed projects are capped at $200,000.
Full program details can be found at the NSGP-NSS webpage on the Indiana Department of Homeland Security website.
