Nonprofit security grant program

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008), is supporting a range of physical security enhancements and protective measures for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks in the state of Delaware.

The total funding amount is $2,311,768.00, with the performance period spanning from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027. The primary awardee is the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA), a U.S. state government entity, which is then providing sub-awards to local nonprofit organizations such as Congregation Beth Emeth, Salesianum School, Temple Beth EL, and Congregation Beth Sholom of Dover. These sub-awards are supporting initiatives like security system upgrades, access control measures, surveillance equipment, and other physical security enhancements to harden and protect the facilities of these vulnerable nonprofit entities against potential threats.
