Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 GPD 008 00 01
The Fiscal Year 2016 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its core purpose is to provide funding for target hardening and other physical security improvements for nonprofit organizations that are considered at high risk of a terrorist attack. A key eligibility condition is geographic: the nonprofit beneficiaries must be located within an urban area that is receiving FY 2016 funding under the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). In other words, the program is aimed at strengthening security for at-risk nonprofits in designated high-threat, high-density urban regions tied to the UASI footprint.
The funding is intended to support practical, on-the-ground protective measures and broader preparedness actions that reduce vulnerability to terrorist incidents. While the description emphasizes physical security enhancements (often understood as things like facility access control, surveillance, perimeter improvements, and other measures designed to deter, detect, delay, and respond to threats), the program is also framed as part of a wider preparedness effort. NSGP is designed to connect nonprofit security and readiness activities with state and local homeland security strategies, rather than treating nonprofit protection as a stand-alone effort. This integration goal reflects the idea that community institutions are part of the overall risk landscape and should be included in coordinated planning, information sharing, and preparedness investments.
A second major emphasis of NSGP is coordination and collaboration. The opportunity highlights promoting emergency preparedness coordination between public and private community representatives and state and local government agencies. Practically, this means the program encourages nonprofits and governmental partners to work together on planning, preparedness alignment, and relationships that can improve prevention and response outcomes. The program is positioned as contributing to national-level preparedness goals, specifically noting alignment with the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission to strengthen national preparedness and resilience.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 GPD 008 00 01 and CFDA 97.008, with FEMA as the administering component within DHS. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other." Eligible applicants are state governments, which indicates that applications are submitted at the state level rather than directly by individual nonprofit organizations. In typical grant structures of this type, states then manage selection, sub-awards, or pass-through processes to support eligible nonprofits in the covered urban areas, consistent with FEMA and state guidance.
The opportunity record shows an original application closing date of April 25, 2016, and a creation date of February 16, 2016. It anticipates 21 awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which generally signals that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summary fields (or was handled elsewhere in the full notice) rather than implying that awards would be zero-dollar. Overall, NSGP (FY 2016) is best understood as a focused homeland security grant initiative that channels federal resources through states to help high-risk nonprofits in UASI areas strengthen facility security and better integrate into local and state preparedness and resilience efforts.Apply for DHS 16 GPD 008 00 01
