NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN THE NEW YORK CITY URBAN AREA
Federal Fiscal Year 2014 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)
Description:
Request for Applications (RFA) for up to $75,000 in federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funding made available by the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is a total of $13 million nationally in funding available under this grant program and funds will be awarded competitively based on the submission of applications by eligible nonprofit organizations located within the New York City Urban Area.
Funding will be awarded to support target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations (as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such Code) that are at high risk of terrorist attack due to their ideology, beliefs, or mission and are located within the New York City Urban Area (includes the Cities of New York and Yonkers and the Counties of Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk). The program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as State and local government agencies.
Due to the competitive nature of this program, funding preference will be given to nonprofit organizations that have not received prior years funding.
Applications will be accepted only through May 9, 2014, through New York State’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYS-DHSES) electronic grants management system (E-Grants).
For application and instructions, please contact: Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Valerie Bloomer, 1220 Washington Ave., State Office Campus, Bldg. 7A, Albany, NY 12242, [email protected], 1-866-837-9133
