Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 25 GPD 137 00 99
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is authorized under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as updated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and it is designed to help state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments manage and reduce systemic cyber risk. FY 2025 is described as the final year of funding in this multi-year program, meaning applicants are expected to build on prior years of planning and investments and finish out priorities that move their jurisdictions toward sustainable cybersecurity capabilities.
A central requirement of the program is that recipients must have a Cybersecurity Plan and a Cybersecurity Planning Committee. The plan is intended to guide how the state and its eligible local partners prioritize cybersecurity work and spend SLCGP funds, while the planning committee supports the development, maintenance, and implementation of that plan. In practical terms, the program is not just paying for isolated tools or one-off projects; it is pushing applicants to use a structured, statewide governance and planning approach, then select and execute projects that clearly align to that approach.
For FY 2025, applications must address at least one of four program objectives, which effectively serve as the organizing framework for what FEMA expects to fund. Objective 1 focuses on governance and continuity: developing, implementing, or revising cybersecurity plans and related governance structures so that governments can respond to incidents effectively and maintain continuity of operations. Objective 2 emphasizes understanding current cybersecurity posture through ongoing testing, evaluation, and structured assessments, with the idea that jurisdictions should be able to measure where they are, identify gaps, and track improvement over time. Objective 3 is about implementing security protections that match the level of risk, supporting the principle that controls should be commensurate with threats and the sensitivity of systems and data. Objective 4 concentrates on the human side of security by ensuring personnel are trained appropriately for their roles and responsibilities, recognizing that workforce readiness and user behavior are foundational to reducing cyber risk.
Eligibility is limited at the application submission level. The only entity that may submit an SLCGP application to DHS/FEMA is the Governor-designated State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program. In other words, even though the funding is meant to benefit broader SLTT partners, the state SAA is the official applicant and point of submission. The eligible applicant type listed is state governments, reinforcing that this is a state-led grant process that typically involves downstream coordination and pass-through planning to local entities consistent with the statewide cybersecurity plan.
