Faith-Based Security Package

Sanctuary interior with vaulted ceiling
Security packages · Faith-based

Faith-based & community security, built for grant funding.

A three-module security package for synagogues, churches, schools, and community organizations — sized to align cleanly with FEMA NSGP and similar grant programs, and delivered by a single accountable contractor.

NSGP-aligned by design. Our standard faith-based package is sized to fit within a single FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program Investment Justification (commonly $200K per site, $150K previously). Scope, documentation, and budget are organized to make your application — and post-award reporting — straightforward.
The package

Three protective modules, scoped to your site.

Each module stands on its own, and the three together form a complete community-protection package. Budget ranges below are typical for a small-to-mid facility; final pricing is set by an on-site security assessment.
