Built for organizations that serve communities at risk.
Churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, faith-based schools and community nonprofits facing threats because of who they are or what they believe. If you are a nonprofit worried about the safety of your building and the people inside it, this is where to start.
How it works
Check your eligibility.
Answer a short set of questions about your organization and your building. You get a clear answer right away.
Tell us about your site.
Fill in a guided questionnaire about each building: entrances, cameras, guards, past incidents.
We assess your risk.
Our team reviews your answers with you on a call and prepares your threat, vulnerability and risk assessment, the document most security grants require.
We build your application.
We write the grant application from your assessment, and you review it and submit it.
The funding we help you pursue.
Primary
Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP).
Federal funding, administered by FEMA through your state, for physical security improvements at nonprofits at risk of attack: cameras, access control, barriers, alarms, security-related training and more.
Also
Other federal and state security grants.
Depending on your state and your organization, other programs may fit. We review that with you during your assessment.

Questions
Is the eligibility check free?
Yes. It takes a few minutes and you are under no obligation.
When are applications due?
Security grant windows usually open once a year and close within weeks, and the dates are set by FEMA and your state. The organizations that win are the ones that are ready before the window opens, so the best time to start is now.
Do I need a security assessment?
Most security grants, including NSGP, expect one. Preparing it is part of what we do for you.
Who will I work with?
EMD's team. You can reach a person at any step.
