State Nonprofit Security Grant Program (AZ-NSGP)

The State of Arizona Nonprofit Security Grant Program (AZ-NSGP) provides state funding for security projects to nonprofit organizations at greatest risk of terrorist attack or hate crimes.

AZ-NSGP is separate from the federal NSGP but has a unique eligibility link: applicants must have either applied for federal NSGP in the last 3 cycles without receiving an award, or demonstrate inability to fund upfront costs.

Key differences from federal NSGP: offers advance payment (not just reimbursement). Very short performance period of approximately 7 months. $100K cap is shared across all sites, not per site.
