The FY2027 State of Arizona Nonprofit Security Grant Program (AZ-NSGP) is established to provide funding to eligible nonprofit organizations that are at greatest risk of a terrorist attack or at risk of hate crimes or attacks because of the nonprofit’s ideology, beliefs or mission for target hardening and other security enhancements and activities.
In the FY2027 State of Arizona NSGP, there are two specific eligibility criteria:
An applicant for an Arizona NSGP grant must have met the nonprofit eligibility requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Administration (USDHS/FEMA) Nonprofit Security Grant Program for the current grant year and meet either of the following:
a. Have applied for the federal nonprofit security grant and not received funding for the last three (3) grant cycles (2025, 2024, 2023); OR
b. Have been unable to apply for the federal nonprofit security grant due to an inability to fund the request up front and wait for reimbursement.
Nonprofit organizations with one site may apply for up to $100,000 for that site. Applicants with multiple sites may choose to apply for additional sites up to a maximum of three (3) sites. Total amount for all sites for each Applicant may not exceed $100,000. If a nonprofit organization applies for projects at multiple sites, regardless of whether the projects are similar in nature, it must include a vulnerability assessment unique to each site.
Note: The Arizona Department of Homeland Security will conduct two FY2027 STATE OF ARIZONA NSGP Grant Information Webinars. If your organization is eligible and plans to apply for the FY2027 State of Arizona NSGP, you are encouraged to attend one of the webinars [one has already happened].
