Nonprofit Security

New York State (NYS) is fortunate to be the home of thousands of nonprofit institutions that enrich our lives and provide vital services to our residents. These institutions provide the State with valuable and essential medical, religious, educational, social, cultural and recreational services that all New Yorkers benefit from. Many of these institutions lack the resources and expertise to adequately protect themselves and those they serve. NYS is committed to working with the nonprofit community to assist in improving its security.

In March 2010, the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services/Office of Counter Terrorism completed the "New York State Nonprofit Homeland Security Preparedness Study" which examined the security needs of nonprofits facing an increased risk of terrorist attack and the resources available to assist these institutions in protecting its facilities. Listed below are the organizations that participated in this study and were identified as having resources available to assist nonprofit organizations in improving security. For additional information on these organizations and their services please visit their websites.

For additional assistance and information on resources available to assist nonprofits in identifying resources to improve security please contact OCT's Nonprofit Outreach Coordinator at nfpoutreach@dhses.ny.gov.
