Nonprofit Security Grant Program Funding Improvement Act

Upfront security grants for nonprofits

If enacted, the Department of Homeland Security would award Nonprofit Security Grant Program funds in advance instead of reimbursing costs after they occur. Eligible nonprofits would get grant money before they pay covered security costs. The change would take priority over other laws because it applies "notwithstanding any other provision of law." It would not change total funding amounts, who is eligible, or allowable uses of the grants, and it specifies no effective date.
