After long delays in announcing this year’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program awardees, FEMA has not yet provided the list of sub-grantees to Congress claiming it is withholding the information from our representatives for national security reasons. This is unprecedented.
Don Bacon joined 70 members in signing a nonpartisan letter penned by New Jersey’s Representative Josh Gottheimer. (Reps. Smith and Flood did not sign, and we are reaching out to them to ask why.)
Please feel free to email Congressman Bacon to thank him for his steadfast support on the NSGP and to encourage his continued engagement and oversight of FEMA and the Administration.
If you are a constituent of Reps. Smith or Flood, you may also want to share the letter with them to bring them up to speed on the issue, as well as their awareness of the letter and the status of NSGP-NSS and pending FY 2025 NSGP funding opportunity. When we do not yet know if our institutions have received this year’s funding, it makes it difficult, if not impossible to plan or apply for next year’s federal or state grants.
