Program on Labor Traffi
 cking

 
Congressional leaders agreed 
to increase to $90 million 
the funding for the federal 
Nonprofit Security Grant 
Program (NSGP) that will 
help keep America’
s syna-
gogues, other houses of wor-
ship, parochial day schools 
and nonprofits such as hos-
pitals, libraries and museums 
safe against terror attacks. 
 The new funding level, 
which comes as part of 
Congress’
s Appropriations 
package, represents 
a 50 
percent increase compared 
to last year’
s $60 million 
funding. 

The NSGP provides grants 
of up to $100,000 apiece 
to nonprofits at risk of ter-
rorist attacks so they may 
improve building security 
by acquiring and installing 
items ranging from fences, 
lighting and video surveil-
lance to metal detectors and 
blast-resistant doors, locks 
and windows. Funding may 
also be used to train staff 
and pay for contracted secu-
rity personnel. Since 2005, 
Congress has allocated $329 
million for the grants, which 
are administered by the 
Department of Homeland
