NSGP funds physical security for organizations at risk because of who they are and what they stand for. WorldSafe supports nonprofits through the full process, from an objective risk and vulnerability assessment to a grant-ready application.
Three phases carry a nonprofit from risk picture to final award.
A WorldSafe practitioner produces an objective, grant-ready risk and vulnerability assessment of your facility. It documents the threats specific to your organization and the gaps funding should close.
WorldSafe prepares the application and assists with submission, translating the assessment into the narrative and investment detail reviewers look for.
Your state reviews and scores applications, then submits its top projects to FEMA for final approval. A clear assessment gives yours the strongest standing.
WorldSafe maps assessment findings to the categories most likely to score.
Nonprofits at risk of a targeted attack: houses of worship, faith-based schools, religious institutions, community centers, cultural institutions, advocacy groups, and human service providers.
The program runs through your State Administrative Agency, and deadlines vary. In FY2026 several states closed two weeks or more ahead of the federal date, and some required registration earlier still. A competitive application takes time to build, and it starts with the assessment. Organizations that win funding start early.
