Summary

Securing American Non-Profit Organizations Against Terrorism Act of 2017

This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish a Non-Profit Security Grant Program in the Department of Homeland Security, under which the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shall make grants to tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations determined to be at risk of a terrorist attack, through the state in which such organizations are located, for target hardening and other security enhancements.

A nonprofit organization shall not be ineligible for such a grant solely because it is not located within a jurisdiction receiving funding under the Urban Area Security Initiative.

Recipients may use grants for:

  • the acquisition or installation of certain security equipment, including on their real property, specifically to prevent or protect against the risk of a terrorist attack; and
  • fees for training relating to the protection of critical infrastructure key resources, including for physical security and cybersecurity, target hardening, terrorism awareness, and employee awareness.
