Congregation Shaare Tefilla

Congregation Shaare Tefilla, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Dallas, Texas, receives federal grant sub-awards funding physical security hardening and threat-mitigation infrastructure improvements as a sub-recipient, with all recent work routed through DHS/FEMA grant programs targeting high-risk nonprofit facilities.

The organization has received three federal grant sub-awards over the past two years totaling $490 thousand in combined obligations. The first sub-award, dated October 16, 2023, funded installation of gates, fencing, and access controls as part of a Target Hardening project. A second sub-award from January 9, 2025, supported the purchase and installation of impact-resistant window film, blast-resistant windows, gates, security cameras, and access controls through a Target Protection project. A third sub-award from December 2, 2025, funded contracted security, cameras, and physical access controls for a Security Assessment Response and Improvement project. All three sub-awards reflect DHS/FEMA determinations that Congregation Shaare Tefilla faces elevated risk of terrorist attack and warrant protective infrastructure investment through federal grant programs. The organization operates exclusively as a sub-recipient; it holds no prime federal contracts or IDVs and has not served as a prime grant recipient in the source data.

Activity remains limited — one award in 2023 and two in 2025 — with no identifiable parent vehicles, teaming relationships, or competitive set-aside posture. The work is inherently facility-focused and non-competitive; no procurement vehicles or business-development signals are present in the source.
