Nonprofit security grant program

This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,788,252.00 and provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008), supports physical security enhancements and protective measures for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. The grant program focuses on facility hardening, security infrastructure upgrades, and comprehensive security strategy development for vulnerable nonprofit entities. Through sub-awards to various nonprofit organizations in North Dakota, including religious institutions, schools, community centers, and healthcare facilities, the funding will enable the implementation of critical security improvements such as surveillance systems, access controls, fencing, shatter-resistant glass, lighting, and contracted security personnel to mitigate risks facing soft targets and crowded places. The grant has a performance period from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027.
