Every year, FEMA gives houses of worship and nonprofits up to $200,000 per site to harden against attack — secure doors, cameras, lighting, blast film, a protected entry. But the money only comes if your application includes a credible security vulnerability assessment. That assessment is the part congregations get wrong. It's the part we do for you — walked and signed by a credentialed Crime Prevention Specialist — so your application wins.
$274.5 million available · up to $200,000 per site (up to 3 sites) · a facility vulnerability assessment is required to apply.
DHS offers a free self-assessment checklist. It does not win you $200,000. FEMA scoresapplications — and a scored, professional vulnerability assessment with a documented threat nexus and standards-mapped fixes scores. A "we feel unsafe" letter does not.
A credentialed CPS & threat specialist, on-site, assessing against CPTED, NFPA 3000, IES lighting, and DHS protective-design standards.
A scored, specific, defensible vulnerability assessment — the document FEMA requires, done the way reviewers expect to see it.
The Investment Justification — the narrative FEMA actually scores — tied line-by-line to the threat and to what the grant will fund.
If awarded, your members walk past hardened doors, cameras, and a secure entry — paid for by the grant, not your collection plate.
↻ And it renews. New cycle, new buildings, new people protected. You become the congregation that's actually ready.
"Our congregation feels unsafe. We would like security cameras and better doors."
"Our building is old and we worry about our members."
"We are requesting funding for security improvements."
Result: not funded.
"Facility scored 41/100 on a CPTED vulnerability assessment. Documented threat nexus: targeted incidents and credible threats within the service area."
"Recommended mitigations mapped to NFPA 3000 & DHS: secure vestibule, access-controlled entries, IES-compliant lighting, ballistic window film."
"Itemized to the $200,000 request, signed by a CPS."
Same sanctuary. One application loses, one wins. FEMA scores on threat nexus, standards-mapped mitigations, and a credible assessor. We write the one that scores — and a credentialed practitioner signs it.
Every tier is a fraction of the up-to-$200,000 you're applying for. No success fee, no cut of your grant — a flat, honest price.
The FEMA-required security vulnerability assessment — walked on-site, scored, and signed by a credentialed practitioner.
The assessment plus the Investment Justification, written to score. Everything FEMA needs — ready to submit.
The package plus application walkthrough and post-award documentation support — start to finish, beside you the whole way.
A $3,500 package to win up to $200,000. That's the math.
Not a template. Not a checklist you fill out alone. A 20-year security professional walks your building and puts his name on the document FEMA reads.
Assessments are grounded in the standards reviewers respect — ISO 22341, ASIS SRA, NFPA 3000, IES lighting, and FEMA protective-design guidance.
