This site provides information on homeland security and public safety grant opportunities offered by agencies across the Federal government and is intended to simplify access to these grants by placing information in a single, easily accessible site. It includes grants offered by the Department of Homeland Security as well as other Federal Departments and Agencies. Critical state and local missions supported through these grants include the preparedness of first responders and citizens, public health, infrastructure security, and other public safety activities.  While these programs vary considerably in their size and scope, they all contribute to making our nation more secure against the threat of terrorism, as well as other natural and man-made hazards.  

Department of Homeland Security grants listed include those administered by the Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Other Federal agency programs include the Department of Health and Human Services' public health preparedness grants, Department of Justice grants for counter-terrorism and general-purpose law enforcement activities, and Environmental Protection Agency grants for enhancing the security of our Nation's water supplies.

This page is intended to provide an overview of relevant programs for potential applicants. When available, links were provided for the individual grant programs, which will lead to more information on their specific requirements and procedures.  Other search opportunities are available at  www.FedGrants.gov and www.Grants.gov.  

Many grants are administered directly through state agencies and administrative offices - see individual grant applications for more information.

This listing was compiled by the Office of State and Local Government Coordination in the Department of Homeland Security. Comments on how to improve the usefulness of this list can be sent to grants@dhs.gov.
