Obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (sam.gov): All applicants selected to receive funding must have an assigned Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from Sam.gov. It’s important to request the UEI immediately as it takes time to process.
To request a UEI for your organization, visit Sam.gov.
Complete a Vulnerability Assessment: All application submissions must include an up-to-date Vulnerability Assessment. Assessments completed within the last three years are considered up to date. To complete this requirement, you may contact your local law enforcement office to conduct an in-person assessment. Alternatively, you may use CISA’s Houses of Worship Security Self-Assessment.
Prepare an Investment Justification: The NSGP application form. To assist with filling out the IJ, refer to FEMA’s “Investment Justification Checklist” in the Nonprofit Security Grant Program - National Security Supplemental Subapplicant Quick Start Guide . We recommend drafting your answers in a Word document for easy editing, then transferring the information into the IJ template when final. Please be aware that the final Adobe document has character limits for each section.
The FY25 IJ template has not been released yet. We will post on our website as soon as it’s available from FEMA.
