Impact Security Supports Nonprofit Organizations Through FEMA’s 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program
Grant-eligible retrofit glazing solutions are available for faith-based institutions, schools, and community centers nationwide.
Marietta, GA, August 5, 2025 – Impact Security, a nationwide provider of retrofit security glazing solutions, announced its support for at-risk nonprofit organizations that are applying for FEMA’s Fiscal Year 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP).
The federal program provides funding to strengthen the physical security of nonprofit facilities facing elevated threats from terrorism and extremist activity.
The NSGP provides funding for security enhancements to nonprofits, schools, and community centers. The program helps these organizations protect occupants and deter forced entry. This can include access control, surveillance systems, and physical reinforcements like security glazing.
With a tight deadline approaching, states must submit their NSGP funding requests to FEMA by August 11, 2025.
Following that, individual states will release their Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs), setting application deadlines and requirements for eligible sub-recipients. Additionally, nonprofit leaders are encouraged to begin the application process immediately to ensure proper documentation is submitted on time.
“Every day, our team focuses on protecting people and property from real and evolving threats,” said Mark Mineer, President of Impact Security.
“We are pleased to support nonprofit organizations with retrofit glazing solutions that align with FEMA’s grant objectives. Our DefenseLite® systems are engineered to delay forced entry and serve as a vital component in any facility hardening strategy.”
Impact Security provides grant-eligible retrofit security glazing systems that are designed to install over existing doors and windows. It does not require an expensive, complete window replacement. This makes them a practical, non-intrusive option for older or architecturally significant buildings.
Moreover, the DefenseLite® Pro, RiotLite® and BulletShield™ systems help safeguard entry points, reception areas, and other gathering spaces while preserving the original appearance of the facility. The result is a powerful, yet non-intrusive security upgrade that doesn’t compromise the building’s aesthetic integrity.
In support of NSGP applicants, Impact Security offers site assessments, security glazing recommendations, and the documentation needed for grant applications. This includes CSI 3-Part Product Specifications, scope of work descriptions, and budget estimates. These materials can streamline the application process and demonstrate compliance with FEMA’s physical security enhancement criteria.
NSGP-Eligible Organizations Include:
- Nonprofit and private K–12 schools
- Faith-based institutions (churches, synagogues, mosques)
- Nonprofit community centers and cultural organizations
