Non-profit security program

This federal Project Grant award of $1,475,771.64 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008) supports the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, a state government agency, in providing physical security enhancements, cybersecurity improvements, training, and other security-related activities to protect high-risk nonprofit organizations across Oregon.

The grant funding will enable the Oregon Department of Emergency Management to deliver a range of products and services to strengthen the security capabilities of eligible nonprofit entities, such as religious institutions, schools, community centers, healthcare facilities, and cultural organizations that are vulnerable to terrorist or extremist attacks. Key activities may include infrastructure hardening measures, emergency planning, procurement of security equipment, and coordination of public-private security initiatives to mitigate risks facing these soft targets and crowded places. The grant award date is September 5, 2023.
