About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This file is a scoring tool template designed for State Administrative Agencies to evaluate Investment Justification applications submitted by nonprofit organizations under the FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). The tool provides instructions for data entry and automated scoring calculations. Organizations must enter their name and address, and evaluators select scores from dropdown menus across 13 evaluation criteria, with corresponding scoring rationale automatically populated in adjacent columns. The final total score automatically calculates and is transposed into a Prioritization Tracker.

The 13 scoring criteria assess whether applicants provided required information; described their nonprofit organization's symbolic or historical significance and vulnerability to terrorism; discussed specific threats; thoroughly analyzed organizational vulnerabilities and potential consequences of attacks; proposed facility hardening activities directly aligned with identified vulnerabilities; ensured proposals focus on prevention and protection against terrorist or extremist attacks; demonstrated feasibility of milestones and key activities within the performance period; justified management team effectiveness and governance structure; and articulated clear outcomes and outputs indicating investment success. Scoring ranges from 0 to 5 points depending on the criterion, with Yes/No responses for the first question and detailed rubrics progressing from no/minimal applicant response at the lowest score levels to full, clear, effective, detailed descriptions at the highest levels. The maximum total score possible is 41 points.
