Pennsylvania nonprofits would get security grant decisions within 90 days

The commission would review each application as it arrives and approve or deny it within 90 days of receiving a complete application. This applies to eligible applicants seeking grants from Pennsylvania's Nonprofit Security Grant Fund. The commission would consult the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and the Pennsylvania State Police. An applicant's exemption from providing non-State funds could not determine whether the application is approved or denied. An applicant could revise and resubmit a denied application. The 90-day period would start when the commission receives a complete application.

The commission could award a grant between $25,001 and $75,000 if the applicant provides non-State funds equal to 33% of the requested grant amount. This applies to eligible applicants seeking grants between $25,001 and $75,000. An applicant could not be required to provide non-State funds if its annual gross revenue was less than $250,000 during the prior calendar year. The revenue test uses the applicant's gross revenue during the prior calendar year.
