H.R. 7382: Nonprofit Security Grant Program Transparency Act

Summary

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program Transparency Act is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in February 2026.

  • At least 7 days before making NSGP grants in a fiscal year, providing details on the number of applications, grants to be awarded, and recipient organizations.
  • Within 90 days after the end of a fiscal year, providing state-level data on NSGP applications, grants awarded, and grant expenditures.
  • Information on the operations of the NSGP program office, including staffing and efforts to administer the program.

• Mandates the reporting of NSGP grant details, including:

  • The number of applications submitted by eligible nonprofits to states and then to FEMA.
  • The number and total amount of grants awarded, disaggregated by state and high-risk urban areas.
  • The names, addresses, and grant amounts for each recipient organization.

Impact:

• Increases transparency and congressional oversight of the NSGP grant-making process and how funds are being utilized.
• Provides more detailed information to lawmakers and the public on the distribution and use of NSGP grant dollars.
• May lead to improved administration and accountability of the NSGP program.

Overall, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program Transparency Act aims to make the NSGP grant program more open and accountable by requiring comprehensive reporting to Congress on key program data and activities.
