NJOHSP launches federal nonprofit security grant program
The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) opened the application period for the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) on March 4. This grant opportunity appropriated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for Fiscal Year 2021 supports security enhancements at eligible nonprofit organizations in New Jersey that are at the greatest risk of terrorist attacks.
“As the threat landscape continues to evolve, NJOHSP remains committed to improving the safety and security of eligible nonprofit organizations in New Jersey,” said Jared M. Maples, Director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. “The protection of our residents and visitors will always remain a top priority. Any funding apportioned through the program would also support the efforts of our Interfaith Advisory Council to offer additional security and training resources for houses of worship and religious communities.”
