Making Security Upgrades

More Affordable

Investing in commercial-grade security systems — from keyless entry and alarms to surveillance cameras and fire protection. Is one of the best ways to protect your people, property, and operations. But we know that for many small businesses, schools, and nonprofits, the cost can be a barrier. The good news: there are grants and funding programs available that may help cover the cost of security improvements in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP)

The FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is one of the most widely used funding sources for security upgrades.

Who qualifies?

Nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack, including schools, faith-based institutions, and healthcare facilities.

What it covers:

- Video surveillance and monitoring systems
- Access control and keyless entry
- Alarm systems and intrusion detection
- Barriers, lighting, and perimeter protection
- Training and planning activities

How to apply:

Applications are submitted through your state’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.

SEH Security can provide detailed system proposals that meet grant requirements, including NFPA and UCC compliance.

State & Local Business Support

While there are fewer direct grants for for-profit businesses

Some state programs may help offset security expenses as part of broader business improvement or safety initiatives:

New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA): Offers small business support and financing that can sometimes include infrastructure and safety upgrades.
Pennsylvania Small Business Advantage Grant: Focuses on equipment that improves efficiency and safety. Security-related improvements may qualify if tied to operational improvements.
City & Community Programs: Philadelphia, Newark, and other municipalities occasionally provide corridor revitalization or safety grants to help local retailers and small businesses add cameras or lighting.

Other Funding Opportunities

Insurance Incentives
Industry-Specific Programs
Cybersecurity Grants

Insurance Incentives: Some commercial insurance providers offer rebates or reduced premiums for installing monitored alarms and surveillance.
Industry-Specific Programs: Healthcare and education facilities may qualify for funding tied to safety or compliance regulations.
Cybersecurity Grants: Through DHS and CISA, certain grants cover digital security improvements, which can be combined with physical security for a complete protection plan.

SEH Security has your back.
