Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 008 00 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its purpose is to provide funding that helps protect nonprofit organizations that face a heightened risk of terrorist or other extremist attacks. The program focuses on strengthening on-the-ground security by supporting physical security enhancements and other related security activities, with the broader goal of reducing risk and improving readiness at potential targets within local communities.

A central feature of the FY 2023 NSGP is its emphasis on practical, facility-level improvements that can deter, prevent, or reduce the impact of an attack. While the opportunity description does not list specific allowable projects in the provided text, the program is framed around physical security enhancements and security-related activities, which typically align with measures that improve site security, access control, surveillance, and other protective capabilities. In addition to helping individual nonprofits, the program is designed to connect nonprofit preparedness efforts with wider state and local preparedness strategies, encouraging coordination so that nonprofit security planning complements existing emergency management and homeland security efforts in the surrounding area.

For FY 2023, the total funding available (award ceiling) is listed as $305,000,000, indicating a substantial nationwide investment in nonprofit security. FEMA anticipates making 56 awards under this funding opportunity, which generally suggests that awards are expected to be distributed across states or state-level administering entities rather than awarded directly to individual nonprofits at the federal level. This is consistent with the eligibility information provided: eligible applicants are state governments. In practice, that structure typically means states apply for and receive the federal grant funding and then manage a process to select and fund eligible nonprofit subrecipients within their jurisdictions, aligning with the program's goal of integrating nonprofit preparedness with state and local efforts.

The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 23 GPD 008 00 01 and is associated with CFDA Number 97.008. It uses the grant funding instrument type and is categorized under a general funding activity category labeled "Other," with the note that further clarification would be in an associated explanation field. The posting (creation) date is February 27, 2023, and the original application closing date is May 18, 2023, which defines the federal submission window for eligible applicants (states). Overall, FY 2023 NSGP is aimed at improving security for at-risk nonprofit organizations by funding tangible protective measures while ensuring those efforts are coordinated with broader public-sector preparedness and security planning.
