This bill appropriates funds for supplemental nonprofit security grants in Minnesota, specifically allocating $....... in fiscal year 2026 and $....... in fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety. Nonprofit organizations that have received approval for funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's nonprofit security grant program will be eligible for these state grants. Notably, no additional application is required for the state program, as applying for the federal grant will also serve as an application for state funding.
Eligible organizations can receive grants of up to $75,000, with the stipulation that the total amount received from both the federal and state programs cannot exceed this limit. Grants will be awarded based on the ranking established by the federal program, and no state grants will be distributed until the federal grant recipients are announced. Additionally, the commissioner is permitted to use up to one percent of the appropriated funds to cover administrative costs associated with managing the supplemental nonprofit security grant program.
