Non-profit security program

The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) was awarded a $5,165,830.52 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 22, 2022 under the Non-Profit Security Program (CFDA 97.008). The grant aims to provide funding for physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks. PEMA will distribute grant funds as subawards to 16 nonprofit organizations across Pennsylvania for security upgrades and activities. Subawardees include religious institutions, educational organizations, and youth camps providing services to Jewish, Christian, and other faith communities. This funding furthers the Non-Profit Security Program's goal of helping at-risk nonprofits protect their staff, volunteers, and constituents from potential terrorist threats or attacks.
