Two kinds of state security grant
The phrase "state NSGP" can refer to two different funding sources. The first is the State stream of the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program, NSGP-S. It is federal money on federal rules, administered through each state's State Administrative Agency for nonprofits outside FEMA-designated high-risk urban areas. FY2026 provided $150 million for NSGP-S and another $150 million for NSGP-UA.
The second is a standalone, state-appropriated program. California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and other states fund grants with their own dollars, deadlines, and rules. Separate appropriations do not automatically mean both awards can fund one project. Each notice controls whether a nonprofit may pursue both and how proposed or awarded costs must remain distinct.

Priority state-funded programs
The priority entries below cover New Jersey, New York, Illinois, and California. The national directory also records Maryland's and Pennsylvania's distinct state-funded programs. Current status matters as much as the award cap, so each entry states whether an official window is open, closed, or not yet announced as of August 20, 2026.
New Jersey Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NJ-NSGP)
Administering agency. New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP).
Who is eligible. New Jersey 501(c)(3) nonprofits at the greatest risk of a terrorist or hate-motivated attack.
Funding and match. $7 million is available in FY2027. Target Hardening Equipment awards up to $100,000; Security Personnel awards up to $20,000. An organization may apply for both but can receive only one state award in the fiscal year.
What it funds. Target-hardening equipment: cameras, access control, alarm and intrusion detection, reinforced doors and windows, fencing, and lighting. The separate personnel track funds contracted security staffing rather than equipment.
Cycle. Open. Applications are due September 11, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. NJOHSP requires an investment justification, a current vulnerability risk assessment with photographs, and proof of tax-exempt status where applicable.

Administering agency. Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS).
Who is eligible. Illinois 501(c)(3) organizations at high risk of threats, attacks, or acts of terrorism; the state program excludes organizations whose primary purpose is medical or mental-health services.

What it funds. Target-hardening equipment on owned or leased real property and select contract-security costs. Illinois rules prohibit duplicating a project included in an awarded or pending federal grant application.
Cycle. The latest state-funded page still identifies SFY2025, so no later state deadline is presented here. Separately, Illinois closed its FY2026 federal NSGP intake July 6, 2026. Monitor IEMA-OHS for the next state or federal window.

How state and federal funding can coordinate
A state-funded award and a federal NSGP award draw on different appropriations, but that alone does not authorize overlap. A nonprofit may be able to pursue both for distinct scopes, subject to each program's rules. Some programs restrict duplication with an awarded federal project; others, including Illinois, also address projects included in pending federal applications.
The safe planning method is to build one complete target-hardening plan, identify distinct line items and outcomes for each possible funding source, and document the separation before submission. Do not assign the same camera, door, labor charge, or matching dollar to two applications unless both agencies explicitly permit the structure.
Each program publishes its own supplanting and duplication-of-benefits language. Read it before submitting, and document the split clearly so neither reimbursement file looks like it overlaps the other. For the full menu of programs Tec-Tel designs to, see the security grants hub.
NSGP directory for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Nonprofits do not apply directly to FEMA. Each state and Washington, D.C. receives subapplications through the State Administrative Agency listed below, then submits the state application to FEMA. The FY2026 federal cycle is closed. Every state subapplication deadline was earlier than FEMA's July 24, 2026 deadline, and the next federal cycle has not been announced.
The federal baseline is the same nationwide: eligible nonprofits may request up to $200,000 per site, for up to three sites per funding stream, with no FY2026 cost share. State instructions still control the earlier deadline, submission portal, required forms, and any local scoring rules.

How Tec-Tel designs to grant scope
State grant applications are scored on whether the requested security maps cleanly to a documented risk and to the program's allowable-cost categories. Tec-Tel produces the security-side documentation that makes that mapping defensible.
- Site assessment. A walking assessment with your security committee and facilities lead. We document existing camera and access posture, mark gaps against the program's allowable categories, and produce a written assessment with a floor plan, photographs, and a vulnerability matrix the application can cite directly.
- Scope built to the program's caps. CSNSGP caps construction at $100,000 and personnel at 50% of the request; NJ-NSGP separates a $100,000 equipment track from a $20,000 personnel track; SCAHC runs to $250,000 across combined enhancements. We build the bill of materials to fit the specific program's structure rather than a generic wish list.
- NDAA-compliant equipment by default. Every grant project is scoped to NDAA Section 889-compliant cameras, access, and intrusion gear, with each manufacturer's self-certification attached. That protects a project that draws on the federal NSGP-S pass-through and keeps a state-funded install future-proof if a federal source enters later.
- Signed vendor letter with held pricing. A letter on Tec-Tel letterhead confirming pricing validity through the review cycle, the install timeline, and NDAA compliance. Pricing holds so the awarded amount matches the install cost when funds release.
How Tec-Tel supports the application
Tec-Tel supports the security side of the application; the nonprofit owns the funding side. We do not write the grant narrative, we do not sign as the applicant, and we do not replace a grant-writing consultant. Our deliverables sit alongside the nonprofit's own narrative and feed it the technical detail it needs: which item closes which gap, why each piece of equipment is in scope, and what the install will actually cost and take.
For a multi-state nonprofit, Tec-Tel can hold one technology standard across sites while separating each location's assessment, allowable costs, and application documents by program. That reduces redesign without blurring the funding boundaries.
New Jersey's live September 11 deadline is the immediate opportunity. For closed programs, the useful work is preparation: confirm eligibility, update the vulnerability assessment, photograph the requested areas, and build a costed security scope before the next notice opens.
