Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a discretionary homeland security preparedness grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its main purpose is to help nonprofit organizations that face a higher risk of terrorist attack pay for target hardening and other physical security upgrades, along with related security activities. A key condition of the program is that the nonprofit organizations benefiting from the funding must be located within one of the specifically designated UASI-eligible urban areas, tying the program to jurisdictions recognized as having elevated risk profiles and complex threat environments.
Although the intent is to strengthen security at nonprofit facilities, the program is structured to fit into broader state and local preparedness planning rather than operating as a standalone effort. In practice, that means the program emphasizes coordination between nonprofit organizations, community partners, and government agencies so that security improvements at a nonprofit site align with wider preparedness strategies in the surrounding urban area. The program also aims to encourage collaboration among public and private community representatives and to ensure nonprofits are not isolated in planning, training, and readiness efforts that support public safety and resilience.
The FY 2013 NSGP is explicitly linked to national preparedness policy through the National Preparedness System (NPS) described in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). The grant supports the development and sustainment of core capabilities identified in the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). Those core capabilities span all five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The program description makes the point that building these capabilities is a whole-community responsibility, meaning success depends on combined efforts across levels of government, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations. Within that framework, NSGP funding is intended to support allowable costs that contribute to these mission areas, especially where security enhancements at high-risk nonprofit sites reduce vulnerabilities and improve readiness.
From the posted opportunity details, the funding opportunity number is DHS-13-GPD-008-000-01, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 97.008 (Nonprofit Security Program). The expected number of awards was 56, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for eligible applicants. The eligible applicants listed are state governments, reflecting the common FEMA grant structure where states apply as the direct recipients and then manage the distribution or subawards to qualifying nonprofit organizations within the eligible UASI urban areas. The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2013, created the same day, and had a current closing date of June 24, 2013 (with an original closing date of June 30, 2013). The archive date was July 24, 2013. The award ceiling and award floor were listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that specific minimum and maximum award amounts were not represented in that particular listing rather than implying that awards were actually zero.
For reference and application materials, the opportunity pointed applicants to Grants.gov, and FEMA provided technical assistance contact information for those who could not access the full announcement electronically. The listed contact was the Systems and Business Support Branch, GMD Systems Branch, reachable at [email protected].
