Non-profit security program

The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management received a $2,757,747.00 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the FY 2023 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008). This grant funding supports physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks within the state of Colorado. The grant enables the Department to deliver a range of security, preparedness, and prevention services, including training for school resource officers and safety teams, surveillance systems and access controls for at-risk facilities, community resilience projects, counter violent extremism initiatives, disaster planning and exercises, hazardous materials accident prevention, cybersecurity upgrades, emergency response coordination, and public education campaigns. A significant portion of the funding will be administered through sub-awards to implement these security and preparedness activities across local jurisdictions, schools, nonprofits, tribes, and other Colorado-based entities.
