Not-for-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP-IL)

The Illinois Not-for-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP-IL) provides state funding for security upgrades to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations in Illinois that are at high risk of threats, attacks, or acts of terrorism. It is administered by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security.

NSGP-IL is separate from the federal NSGP. Illinois organizations can apply for both. Up to 3 sites can be included in a single application at $150,000 per site.

Key differences from federal NSGP: organizations providing primarily medical or mental health services are excluded. Proposed projects cannot overlap with any previous federal or state grant.
