Commonwealth Nonprofit Security Grant Program (MA)

The Commonwealth Nonprofit Security Grant Program (MA) provides one-time funding to nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and health care entities, to enhance safety and security measures. The program prioritizes applicants demonstrating significant need, particularly those facing threats related to their mission. Emphasis is placed on cost-effective solutions to address security vulnerabilities. This initiative aims to support organizations that have not previously received similar funding, ensuring a focus on those most in need.

This program provides onetime grant funding to assist nonprofit organizations (such as faith-based institutions, medical and health care facilities, and other human service entities) with enhancing building safety and security for its members/participants and staff.
Priority is given to applicants demonstrating the greatest need (experienced threats and/or incidents of terrorism or hate crimes known or believed to be related to their nonprofit organization’s purpose, mission, or services), propose cost-effective solutions to addressing high priority security gaps or weaknesses and have NOT previously received CNSGP or similar funding from OGR.
