FY 2024 NSGP Investment Justification Form
As part of the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) application, eligible 501(c)(3) organizations must develop a formal Investment Justification (IJ) that addresses each initiative proposed for funding. These IJs must demonstrate how proposed projects address gaps and deficiencies in current programs and capabilities. Additionally, the IJ must demonstrate the ability to provide enhancements consistent with the purpose of the program and guidance provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).
Nonprofit subapplicants must ensure that the IJ is consistent with all applicable requirements outlined below. Each IJ must be for one facility/location. FEMA has developed guidelines that establish the required IJ content and helps ensure that submissions are organized in a consistent manner while addressing key data requirements. This form (Office of Management and Budget [OMB] Number 1660-011/FEMA Form Number FF-207-FY-21-115) may be used by nonprofit subapplicants to complete and submit their IJ.
Failure to address these data elements in the prescribed format could potentially result in the rejection of the IJ from review consideration.
Nonprofit subapplicants must use the following naming convention when submitting required documents for the NSGP-UA:
“FY2024_NSGP_UA_; and NSGP-S: “FY2024_NSGP_S__”.
Applications should be submitted by the nonprofit organization to the State Administrative Agency (SAA) as a completed fillable Adobe file. Scanned copies will not be accepted. Nonprofit subapplicants should contact their respective SAA to get information on the application deadline and other SAA requirements.
If an extension to the deadline is required, nonprofit organizations must consult with their respective SAA.
