Non-profit security program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a $3.458 million Project Grant on September 22, 2022 to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency under the Non-Profit Security Program (CFDA 97.008). The grant will fund physical security enhancements at eight nonprofit organizations in Nebraska to reduce risks of terrorist and other extremist attacks. Sub-awards will provide over $400,000 each to Nebraska Methodist Health System, Bryan Medical Center, and Central Catholic Development Foundation to harden entrances and secure areas at their facilities. The Jewish Federation of Omaha will receive over $300,000 to strengthen vehicle-ramming barriers. Pilgrim Baptist Church and two other faith-based groups will bolster entrance security with sub-awards. The Non-Profit Security Program aims to support at-risk nonprofits through targeted infrastructure and cybersecurity upgrades.
