About this file

This document is a prioritization template for the Fiscal Year 2024 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), a federal grant opportunity provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The template instructs state administrative agencies to collect and evaluate details about nonprofit organizations applying for NSGP funding, including their mission, risk level, funding request, and past grant management performance.

The key details to be collected and scored include the organization's location, type, funding amount requested, whether a vulnerability assessment was provided, if the organization is at risk based on its ideology or mission, and if the investment justification contains any disallowed costs. State administrative agencies must certify the organization's eligibility, provide an overall score from 0-40, and rank the applications before recommending them for federal review and funding. The template also includes fields for the state agency to provide additional comments for federal reviewers. The related federal grant opportunity provides up to $305 million in funding through the NSGP to support physical security enhancements and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks.
