We’ve taken an initial look at the federal guidance and not much is new. Stay tuned for specifics.
NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NY DHSES) will develop its RFA (application package) based on the DHS guidance and specify a deadline for all applications to be electronically submitted (State agencies must have time to judge and process several hundred submissions, so the applicant deadline will be considerably sooner than the federal deadline). The RFA will be posted at: http://www.dhses.ny.gov/grants/nonprofit.cfm. Note: In NY, the requirements and deadlines posted by NY DHSES are final.
We’ve scheduled a webinar with our NY DHSES partners for Monday, February 22, 2016 at 11 AM. Click here to make a reservation and to receive the sign-in instructions to join the webinar.
| NSGP 2016: Here’s what you can do now | |
| Prequalification | NY nonprofits should register at https://grantsgateway.ny.gov/ & complete their Document Vault . See JCRC-NY’s additional information at: https://jcrcny2022.wpengine.com/document-vault-faqs/If your nonprofit was previously prequalified, you will still have to update certain documents or your document vault is expired. Check our your document vault for more information. |
| E-Grant registration | If you have an existing account (and remember the username/password), you’re fine; to register for the DHSES E-Grant system, email: grants@dhses.ny.gov |
| Risk assessment | Find guidance and contacts at: https://jcrcny2022.wpengine.com/security-assessment/ |
| Investment Justification | Download https://jcrcny2022.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/FY2015NSGP_InvestmentJustification.pdf and work on responses to each section. It’s unlikely that there will be any significant changes, except possibly Section VII (Impact). |

JCRC-NY and UJA-Federation worked closely with JFNA and its partners worked very hard to bolster the NSGP program allocation this year, and the roles of the Orthodox Union and Agudath Israel were critical.
