Frequently Asked Questions

The 2008 Nonprofit Homeland Security Grantapplication cycle is closed. Results should be announced the week of July 28th.

The FY2008 applications were submitted by the state offices to the Department of Homeland Security on May 1. DHS stated that it will evaluate and act on applications within 90 days of the submission deadline, the week of July 28th.

DHS will forward their decisions to the states. The NYS Office of Homeland Security has an excellent track record of preparing notification letters quickly and sending them out to both the winners and losers.

 

Prospects for a 2009 grant program

A coalition led by United Jewish Communities, including JCRC and UJA-Federation, is again working to secure FY2009 Congressional approval for competitive grants for high-risk nonprofits. Our thanks to Senators Spector and Mikulski and Representatives Price and Rogers for their support to get us this far. We are especially grateful to our own Representatives Lowey and Serrano for their outstanding leadership roles. Watch this space for more information.
