What is the FEMA NSGP Grant?
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provides funding to nonprofit organizations at risk of terrorist attacks or hate crimes. Our experienced grant writers assist nonprofits with application preparation, required documentation, and FEMA-approved specifications to maximize your chances of success.
These grants cover physical security enhancements, including:
- Security film for windows and doors
- Bullet-resistant polycarbonate panels
- Ballistic fiberglass wall panels
- Bullet-resistant doors & windows
- Access control and entryway systems (via our partnership with SecureTech Systems USA)
In 2024, nonprofits in the NYC metro area received $36 million in FEMA NSGP funding for security upgrades.

The FEMA NSGP grant is designed for nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack or hate crimes. Eligible groups include:
- Faith-Based Institutions - Synagogues, churches, mosques, temples, and other houses of worship.
- Educational Institutions - Private schools, Jewish day schools, academies, and charter schools.
- Cultural & Community Institutions - Museums, theaters, heritage centers, and nonprofit cultural organizations.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Always remember that the side with the most lighting is always going to be the one that witnesses this mirror effect.
Therefore you’ll receive the most privacy when there is light outside. In the evening – when its dark out and the lights are on indoors – the mirror is seen from the inside.
There is absolutely no way around this because lighting dictates the amount of privacy you’ll get. Remember that you’ll have the most privacy during the day when the sun is out. Unfortunately, it cannot work in one direction all the time since it’s controlled by lighting conditions.
Can You Control the Mirror Effect?
You can control this effect to an extent by adjusting the lighting conditions within your home. If one side of the film is darker than the other, the mirror will be apparent.
Think about FBI interview rooms where one room is full of light while the other is very dark. They are artificially creating this layout so that the criminal or person being interrogated can’t see the agents, hence acting like a one way mirror. Remember that the side with the mirror effect will always be the one with the lightest appearance.
