The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $2,407,578.94 Project Grant to the American Samoa Department of Homeland Security on September 23, 2022 under the Non-Profit Security Program (CFDA #97.008). The grant will fund physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations in American Samoa that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack. The Non-Profit Security Program aims to help secure nonprofit facilities and organizations against risks associated with terrorism and other threats through measures such as security guards, security equipment or training on preparedness and response. The grant will enhance security for American Samoa nonprofits through allowable security-related expenditures over the grant's period of performance within the United States.
