Grant Description

Grants to New Jersey nonprofit organizations for equipment purchases and hiring of personnel to enhance organizational security. Funding is intended to support organizations that are at risk of being targeted by terrorists. Purchases must be used for property that is owned or leased by the nonprofit organization.

The New Jersey Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NJ NSGP) provides funding to eligible nonprofit organizations across New Jersey, as described under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, at the greatest risk of terrorist attacks.

This State program consists of two grant funding opportunities as described here:

NJ NSGP – Security Personnel (NJ NSGP-SP): This program is limited to the hiring of federal, State, county, or municipal active law enforcement officers appointed pursuant to P.L.1985 or security officers registered pursuant to P.L.2004, c.134 for the applicant’s facility. This funding may be used for additional security personnel needs based on identified risk. Under special conditions, the use of security personnel may be used for off-site events within the geographic boundaries of the State of New Jersey.

NJ NSGP – Target Hardening Equipment (NJ NSGP-THE): This program is limited to the purchase and installation of security equipment on property owned or leased by the nonprofit organization. A complete list of authorized equipment is provided in Supporting Documents.

Recipient

Additional Eligibility Criteria

Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations determined to be at a high risk of terrorist attack within the State of New Jersey as determined by the Director of NJOHSP.

Ineligible

NJ NSGP – Security Personnel (NJ NSGP-SP):
The use of other personnel for security purposes that do not fit the above description is ineligible under this program. This funding may not be used to supplant expenses for an organization’s current security personnel.

Management/administration, training, exercise, and planning expenses are not allowable for either of these NJ NSGP programs.

There are no cash advancements associated with this grant program.

Pre-Application Information

The state fiscal year 2024 NJ NSGP application open enrollment period is now open from Friday, September 1 through 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

Eligible nonprofit organizations may apply annually for both the NJ NSGP-SP and NJ NSGP-THE programs. However, each nonprofit organization may only be awarded funding for one State program per fiscal year. Additionally, NJOHSP shall assign a preference for eligible applicants who have not received either a federal or State security grant in the last two grant cycles for target hardening equipment measures.

These grant funds will be administered on a reimbursement basis and will require the selected grantees to submit documentation (purchase orders, invoices, canceled checks, etc.) prior to receiving reimbursement.
