Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security, FEMA grant designed to help protect nonprofit organizations that face a higher risk of terrorist attack and are located within designated UASI-eligible urban areas. The central purpose of the program is to provide funding for practical, on-the-ground security improvements, with an emphasis on physical security and facility hardening measures that reduce vulnerability and improve a nonprofit's ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from security threats.
A key theme of this opportunity is integration. Rather than treating nonprofit security as a standalone effort, the program aims to connect nonprofit preparedness and protection activities to broader state and local preparedness strategies. In practice, this means encouraging coordination between nonprofit organizations, community partners, and government agencies so that security planning, training, communication, and response efforts are aligned with existing emergency management and homeland security frameworks in the region. The program also explicitly promotes collaboration among public and private community representatives, reinforcing a whole-community approach where nonprofits are incorporated into wider preparedness and response networks instead of operating in isolation.
The announcement ties NSGP to the National Preparedness System and the National Preparedness Goal, emphasizing that funded projects should support the development and sustainment of core capabilities across all five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The grant is framed as a way to build and maintain these capabilities over time, recognizing that effective preparedness is not the responsibility of a single organization or a single level of government, but requires coordinated effort across the community. As a result, NSGP funding is intended to strengthen both the direct security posture of eligible nonprofits and the broader preparedness ecosystem in UASI urban areas.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 14 GPD 008 000 01) under CFDA 97.008 (Non Profit Security Program). FEMA anticipated making 26 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $13,000,000. The posting and creation date for the opportunity was March 18, 2014, and the application deadline was May 23, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on June 20, 2014. The eligible applicants listed for this opportunity are state governments, which generally reflects the structure of many FEMA preparedness grants where states apply and then manage the process of selecting and passing support through to eligible subrecipients, such as nonprofits located in the qualifying UASI areas.
The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect that some portion of project costs must be covered by non-federal funds, consistent with the terms set by the program guidance. While the award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the summary data, that typically indicates that the specific minimum and maximum award sizes were not captured in that particular listing and would instead be detailed in the full notice of funding opportunity or related program guidance.
