Nearly 80 members of Congress are urging the Trump administration to restore funding for religious institutions through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). The funding freeze, which includes FEMA, has affected synagogues, schools, and Jewish community centers that rely on the program for security measures. The letter, signed by both Democrats and Republicans, calls for a briefing to explain the pause on funding and ensure that awarded grants will still be received. Jewish groups have been advocating for increased NSGP funding as incidents of antisemitism have risen in recent years.
