Download a PDF copy of this webpage.

The Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) provides funding to state, local and private-sector partners to help protect critical port infrastructure from terrorism, enhance maritime domain awareness, improve port-wide maritime security risk management, and maintain or reestablish maritime security mitigation protocols that support port recovery and resiliency capabilities. This document outlines key changes for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 PSGP.

Cost Information Moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual

The majority of information on funding restrictions and allowable costs has moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual (PGM) to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Please refer to Section D of the PSGP FY 2024 NOFO for detailed information on these cost categories.

FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) System

Applicants must apply to the PSGP on the new FEMA GO platform. The previous Non-Disaster Grants (ND Grants) platform will become a legacy system for grant programs from FY 2023 and earlier. For more information about FEMA GO, please review Section D of the PSGP NOFO and FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) | FEMA.gov for additional guidance and tools.
