Nonprofit security grant program

The State of Wyoming, through its Wyoming Office of Homeland Security, was awarded a $1,341,832 Project Grant by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008). The grant, effective from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027, will support physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations in Wyoming that are at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. The funding will enable the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security to provide sub-awards to various nonprofit entities, such as religious institutions, schools, community centers, and healthcare facilities, to implement critical security improvements like surveillance systems, access controls, fencing, shatter-resistant glass, lighting, and contracted security personnel. This grant aligns with the Nonprofit Security Grant Program's mission to strengthen the security preparedness of nonprofit organizations against potential threats.
