BJA FY 2010 G20 Summit Security Assistance Reimbursement Grant Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BJA FY 2010 G20 Summit Security Assistance Reimbursement Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2010 2333) was a one-time, discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance to help cover the unusually high public safety costs tied directly to the G20 Summit held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 24 to 25, 2009. The central aim was straightforward: reimburse state and local public safety agencies for eligible security-related expenses they had already incurred while supporting summit security operations, rather than funding new activities going forward.

BJA indicated that up to $10,000,000 could be made available for reimbursement, with awards intended to offset a wide range of extraordinary law enforcement and detention-related costs required for a major special security event. The solicitation specifically highlighted overtime compensation for law enforcement officers as a key reimbursable cost and also included associated equipment and supplies. Examples of these items included protective equipment and portable radios, reflecting the kinds of gear and consumables that typically get heavily used or rapidly procured during large-scale, short-notice security deployments. The program also allowed reimbursement for detention costs connected to the event, including the types of expenses that can surge during major demonstrations or mass arrest scenarios, such as medical personnel, food services, and related supplies. Beyond these examples, the program contemplated "other extraordinary law enforcement related costs" as long as they were necessary to provide security for the G20 event, signaling that BJA expected agencies to document the direct connection between the expense and summit security.

A notable feature of the program was how BJA planned to allocate reimbursements. Rather than guaranteeing full repayment of every eligible cost, BJA stated its goal was to reimburse agencies on a pro rata basis. In practical terms, that means reimbursements could be spread proportionally across applicants based on total documented eligible costs, especially if the combined reimbursement requests exceeded the funds available. BJA also reserved discretion to adjust reimbursement levels depending on each agency's overall costs and, importantly, whether those costs were already covered by other federal funding streams. The announcement explicitly referenced potential overlap with other federal sources such as FEMA or direct appropriations through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and it suggested BJA would take steps to avoid duplicating benefits for the same expenses.

Eligibility was listed under state governments, and the program was categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services with CFDA number 16.753, identified as Congressionally Recommended Awards. The funding instrument type was a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes reimbursement programs easier for jurisdictions that have already absorbed large out-of-pocket costs. The award ceiling was $10,000,000 and the award floor was $0, reflecting that overall funding was capped but individual award amounts could vary widely and were not guaranteed.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on November 24, 2009, created on December 21, 2009, and had a very short application window. The original closing date was December 21, 2009, later extended slightly to December 23, 2009. The record shows an archive date of January 22, 2010, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation tied to a past event rather than an ongoing program. For applicants that needed help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Gregory V. Joy, Policy Advisor, through BJA.
