Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)

Federal Fiscal Year 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) Status and Updates

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) would like to announce the availability of $3.3 million in federal funding through the Fiscal Year 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). This funding supports planning, training, target hardening, and physical security improvements for eligible nonprofit organizations across the Commonwealth.

Please note a slight change in the application process outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). VDEM, serving as the State Administrative Agency (SAA), will submit its application to FEMA by the deadline of August 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The application period for eligible nonprofits will begin after FEMA awards the grant to VDEM, expected around September 30, 2025.

Following the award, we will send an additional communication with details about the application timeline and the FY2025 Investment Justification Form. In the meantime, we encourage you to review the NOFO carefully.
