Homeland security grant program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards awarded the Department of Military Affairs Wisconsin $9,087,563 under the Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067) on October 1, 2025, for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The Department of Military Affairs Wisconsin, a division of the Wisconsin Governor's Office, receives and administers this formula grant as a pass-through entity distributing funds to state and local entities for homeland security initiatives across Wisconsin. The award supports state, local, tribal, and territorial efforts to achieve core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, mitigating, and responding to acts of terrorism. Work is performed at multiple Wisconsin locations including Madison, Milwaukee, Camp Douglas, and subordinate National Guard facilities throughout the state. As a state government entity, the Department of Military Affairs Wisconsin holds no subcontracting footprint and does not pursue federal contract vehicles. The Homeland Security Grant Program allocates funds using a combination of legislatively mandated minimum amounts and DHS/FEMA risk methodology to eligible state, territorial, and local entities.
