Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The program is part of DHS preparedness efforts (CFDA 97.008) and is intended to strengthen security and readiness at nonprofit organizations considered to be at high risk of terrorist attack, specifically those located within designated FY 2010 UASI-eligible urban areas. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help eligible nonprofits improve their ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from threats by supporting allowable security enhancements and related preparedness activities described in the full announcement.
For FY 2010, FEMA set aside an estimated total of $19,000,000 for distribution under NSGP. Individual nonprofit organizations can seek funding up to an award ceiling of $75,000 per organization. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though standard federal grant rules and any program-specific requirements in the full announcement would still apply).
Eligibility is structured in a specific way. While the beneficiaries are high-risk nonprofit organizations, the only entities that may apply directly to FEMA are State and territorial governments through a designated State Administrative Agency (SAA). The Governor of each State and territory is required to designate an SAA, and that SAA acts as the applicant and administrator for the program. Nonprofit organizations do not submit applications straight to FEMA; instead, they apply through their SAA. The nonprofits targeted by the program must generally meet the statutory nonprofit definition described in the notice: organizations described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and exempt from tax under section 501(a). The program also limits focus to nonprofits located within one of the specified UASI-eligible urban areas for FY 2010, and the funds are intended to be allocated to those assessed as higher risk.
Key administrative details from the posting include the funding opportunity number DHS 10 GPD 008 000 01, with the opportunity categorized as discretionary and using the grant funding instrument type. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009 (creation date December 10, 2009). The application closing date was April 19, 2010, and the archive date was May 19, 2010. The announcement repeatedly advises applicants to review submission requirements carefully, which typically includes instructions on how nonprofits work with the SAA, what forms and supporting materials are required, and how projects must align with program priorities and allowable cost rules.
