Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to support homeland security preparedness efforts for nonprofit organizations considered at high risk. The program was designed to direct security-related funding to eligible nonprofit entities that fall under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are tax-exempt under section 501(a). Rather than applying directly to FEMA as individual nonprofits, applicants were expected to work through their State Administrative Agency (SAA), since state governments were listed as the eligible applicants for submission purposes.
For FY 2011, the total estimated funding available under NSGP was $18,962,000, with FEMA anticipating about 56 awards. Individual nonprofit organizations could seek up to $75,000 each as an award ceiling, and the opportunity included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were expected to contribute some portion of project costs in addition to the federal share. The program fell under CFDA number 97.008 (Nonprofit Security Program) and was categorized within the broader area of Homeland Security preparedness.
Key timing details for this funding round were straightforward: the opportunity was posted on May 19, 2011, and applications were due by June 20, 2011, with the listing later archived on July 20, 2011. The official funding opportunity number was DHS-11-GPD-008-000-01. For applicants or stakeholders who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a technical contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems Branch) via email at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and referenced an additional program guidance link for detailed requirements and instructions.
