The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is accepting applications for two grant programs both of which aim to help nonprofits enhance their safety and security.
Both grant programs support security enhancements such as gates, lighting and access control for eligible organizations. Combined, the total amount is more than $102 million.
Eligible organizations, including tax-exempt nonprofits under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, may apply to either grant program or both.
