Nonprofit security grant program

This $2,575,613 Project Grant award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008) provides funding to the New Hampshire Department of Safety to enhance physical security and protective measures for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks.

The grant supports a range of security infrastructure upgrades and protective activities for vulnerable nonprofit entities across New Hampshire, including surveillance systems, access controls, lighting, shatter-resistant glass, and contracted security personnel. Through sub-awards to over 15 nonprofit organizations such as religious institutions, schools, and community centers, the funding enables these recipients to implement critical security enhancements and develop comprehensive security strategies to mitigate risks facing soft targets and crowded places. The grant has a performance period from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027.
