The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is awarding $110 million to faith-based organizations<\/a> and nonprofit groups nationwide to enhance their security. This initiative,managed through FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program,aims to improve protective measures such as surveillance cameras,alert systems,access control,lighting,gates,and staff training. The funding comes in response to recent violent attacks targeting religious communities, including a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where two children were killed, and many others injured.<\/p>\n

Secretary Kristi noem emphasized that the grants are intended to help houses of worship,schools,and community centers defend against violence and radical threats. The proclamation also highlighted the troubling rise in violence against various religious groups in the U.S. over recent years, including numerous attacks on Catholic churches, anti-Muslim hate crimes, and antisemitic incidents. Specifically, documented attacks on Catholic churches numbered 235 between 2023 and 2025, while anti-Muslim complaints increased, and antisemitic incidents surged following the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.<\/p>\n

Noem stated that the grant money is prioritized for protecting communities where people gather for worship, rather than funding political projects or climate initiatives. This effort reflects a broader governmental response to growing religiously motivated violence and aims to bolster the safety and security of vulnerable faith-based institutions<\/a>.
