Schrader Deputy Administrator National Preparedness Directorate (NPD) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) Program Allocation Announcement DHS is pleased to announce the final award allocations for the FY 2007 UASI NSGP. The FY 2007 UASI NSGP provides funding support for target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of international terrorist attack. While this funding is provided specifically to high-risk nonprofit organizations via the State Administrative Agency (SAA), the program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader State and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, State and local government agencies, and Citizen Corps Councils. Eligible nonprofit organization applicants submitted funding requests through their SAA. Applications were reviewed through a two-phase process, in which each State vetted their respective applications and submitted them for Federal review and approval. The results of this two-phase review process yielded final award determinations in which 308 nonprofit organizations were awarded funds. Attached to this Information Bulletin is the list of eligible nonprofit organizations selected for funding under the FY 2007 UASI NSGP. Details on the sub-award amounts for each eligible nonprofit organization selected for funding will be provided to the SAA in their respective grant award package. Following the issuance of the final award, grantees may use FY 2007 UASI NSGP funds to implement target hardening activities identified in their applications, in accordance with all program guidance requirements, allowable equipment and training costs, and match requirements. States are reminded that no more than 3 percent of the total award amount (including SAA management and administrative (M&A)) may be used for M&A purposes. M&A activities are those defined as directly relating to the management and administration of the grant funds, such as financial management and monitoring.
