What Is CSNSGP?

The California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CSNSGP) was established in 2019 following the Poway synagogue shooting. It provides state funding for physical security enhancements to religious, political, and mission-based nonprofit institutions at risk of hate crimes or terrorist attacks.

CSNSGP is separate from the federal NSGP. California organizations can apply for both, potentially combining up to $200,000 in federal funding with up to $500,000 in state funding.

Key difference from federal NSGP: maximum of 2 sites per organization.
