VDEM announced today more than $5.1 million in federal funds for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). The NSGP State portion is funded at $3.2 million, and the NSGP-Urban Area Hampton Roads portion is funded at $1.6 million. The NSGP award represents a 73 percent increase from fiscal year 2022.
