Nonprofit Security Grant Program

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is a federal grant opportunity being announced in Wisconsin through Wisconsin Emergency Management. Wisconsin Emergency Management states that the program is intended for nonprofit organizations that may be at risk of a terrorist attack because of their ideology, beliefs, or mission. The opportunity is therefore focused on the security needs of nonprofit organizations facing terrorism-related risks. The source identifies the program as the Nonprofit Security Grant Program and describes it expressly as a federal grant opportunity, while Wisconsin Emergency Management is responsible for announcing the application period to Wisconsin organizations. The stated purpose of the Nonprofit Security Grant Program is to provide a grant opportunity for nonprofit organizations that may face a terrorist attack because of their ideology, beliefs, or mission. This establishes security and terrorism-risk mitigation as the central focus of the opportunity. The supplied release excerpt does not specify individual allowable cost categories, prohibited expenditures, equipment limitations, construction rules, indirect cost restrictions, or other detailed spending requirements. Those requirements should therefore be verified against the official program Notice of Funding Opportunity rather than inferred from the abbreviated Wisconsin Emergency Management release. Eligibility in the supplied Wisconsin announcement is directed to nonprofit organizations that may be at risk of a terrorist attack due to their ideology, beliefs, or mission. Because the announcement is issued by Wisconsin Emergency Management specifically as an opportunity for Wisconsin nonprofit organizations, the geographic scope of this entry is Wisconsin rather than nationwide. The supplied material does not establish eligibility for individuals, businesses, governmental entities, institutions of higher education, school districts, or other applicant categories. It also does not provide a more specific nonprofit tax-status requirement in the excerpt, so no additional organizational classification is assumed. The supplied material states that the application period is open, but the excerpt does not provide the opening date, final application deadline, submission time, or a required pre-application deadline. It provides a link to SAM.gov instructions concerning Unique Entity Identifier registration, indicating that SAM.gov and UEI registration information is relevant to prospective applicants, but registration is not treated as a pre-application gating stage under the data-entry rules. The excerpt does not identify a required letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, notice of intent, or Phase 1 application. It also does not provide enough information to enumerate the complete application forms, narratives, attachments, assessment materials, or other required submission components. The supplied excerpt does not state an award floor, award ceiling, total program funding amount, expected number of awards, or required cost-share or matching percentage. Consequently, no monetary values are inferred from the program name or linked-document titles. Likewise, the excerpt does not state the detailed evaluation or scoring criteria used to select nonprofit applicants. Applicants should consult the official Notice of Funding Opportunity identified in the supplied source for requirements that are not reproduced in the release excerpt. Wisconsin Emergency Management provides general contact information at 2400 Wright Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53704. The supplied contact email is dmawempio@widma.gov and the telephone number is 608.242.3000. The source also supplies an explicit FEMA FY26 Nonprofit Security Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity PDF URL and a separate NSGP Key Changes PDF. The provided excerpt does not state award notification timing, the period of performance, or a recurring annual deadline rule. Although the release says the application period is currently open, a specific closing date is not present in the supplied text; accordingly, a precise deadline and current-cycle status based on date comparison cannot be independently calculated from this excerpt alone.
