Non-profit security program

The Department of Public Safety State of Utah Administration Division received a $2,992,501 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008) on August 11, 2023. This funding supports physical security enhancements, cybersecurity improvements, training, and other activities to protect nonprofit organizations in Utah that are at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. The Department of Public Safety will serve as the prime recipient and distribute sub-awards to eligible nonprofit organizations across the state to implement security upgrades such as surveillance systems, access controls, fencing, shatter-resistant glass, and contracted security personnel. This grant award is part of FEMA's broader $434.5 million FY 2024 NSGP funding opportunity to enhance security for vulnerable nonprofit facilities and mitigate risks facing soft targets and crowded places.
