The program funds multidisciplinary community prevention frameworks, threat assessment and management capabilities, innovative prevention pilots, and recidivism reduction programming for individuals at risk of mobilization to violence. Representative recent awards include $2.25 million to develop local prevention frameworks (EMW2025GR05057), $1.5 million for unknown recipient activity (EMW2025GR05074), and $1.275 million for community-based intervention work (EMW2025GR05069), all with three-year performance periods through August 2028. The program funds mental health provider networks, educator and faith leader partnerships, threat assessment training, and online counter-extremism efforts targeting domestic violent extremists, racially or ethnically motivated extremists, anti-government militia actors, and foreign terrorist organization supporters.
All 219 awards in the portfolio are Project Grants. FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for 204 awards totaling $113.2 million in federal obligations, with the remaining 15 awards ($6 million) disbursed through a separate FEMA entity. Combined federal funding stands at $119.2 million since the program's inception in 2017. Award cadence has remained consistent at 34–43 awards annually from 2021 through 2024, though 2025 saw 15 awards through September. Representative award magnitudes range from $900 thousand to $2.25 million, with median awards in the $1 million range based on recent 2025 disbursements.
