About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Fiscal Year 2025 Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), seeks to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities for federally recognized tribal governments by providing targeted investments to improve critical infrastructure security. The program aims to help tribal governments manage and reduce systemic cyber risks through four key objectives: developing governance structures, understanding current cybersecurity posture, implementing security protections, and ensuring personnel are appropriately trained. Eligible applicants must submit applications through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system, develop or revise a Cybersecurity Plan, and establish a Cybersecurity Planning Committee. Applicants are required to have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), Employer Identification Number (EIN), active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, Login.gov account, and FEMA GO account. The application deadline is August 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, with applications subject to initial review by FEMA Preparedness Officers and subsequent review by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) subject matter experts.

The total funding available is $12,164,971, with 18 anticipated awards ranging from $38,947 to $2,743,512. Recipients must provide a 40% non-federal cost share, which can be reduced to 30% for multi-entity projects, with potential waivers available for entities demonstrating economic hardship. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2029, during which recipients will be required to submit annual performance progress reports and financial reports. Grant recipients will be expected to implement comprehensive cybersecurity strategies specific to their tribal government's infrastructure and digital systems, with a focus on long-term risk mitigation and resilience.

Synopsis

Our nation faces unprecedented threats to the homeland from increasingly sophisticated criminal groups and nation-state actors. Tribal governments stand at the forefront of cyber defense. This partnership includes enforcing laws, assisting the federal government in securing borders and cyberspace, and dismantling transnational criminal organizations. Cybersecurity threats, including ransomware intrusions, and widespread software vulnerabilities affecting Tribal government systems and critical infrastructure are increasingly exploited by malicious actors, operating both domestically and abroad. To strengthen the essential partnership DHS maintains with Tribal governments in executing its mission, DHS is committed to supporting their efforts to combat cybersecurity threats and mitigate risks that endanger these vital functions.

Considering the risk and potential consequences of cyber incidents, strengthening the cybersecurity practices and resilience of Tribal governments is an important homeland security mission and the primary focus of TCGP. This program enables DHS to make targeted cybersecurity investments in Tribal governments, thus improving the security of critical infrastructure and improving the resilience of the services Tribal governments provide their communities.


Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/.
