The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $7.1 million Non-Profit Security Program project grant to the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security on September 23, 2022. The grant funding supports physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks, as authorized under the FY2023 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP).

The Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security will subgrant the funding to 20 nonprofit organizations across the state for physical security enhancements. Notable subgrantees include hospitals, religious institutions, cultural organizations, and community service providers such as Sunbeam Family Services, Congregation Bnai Emunah, Oklahoma City Chabad Jewish Center, St. John Medical Center, Jewish Federation of Tulsa, Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, and Temple B'Nai Israel. The grant aims to help protect nonprofit groups from security risks through infrastructure hardening and other targeted security improvements.
