In March, that advocacy paid off as Congress doubled funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $50 million\u2014the largest amount of funding ever for the program.<\/p>\n<p>Through 2017, the Department of Homeland Security allocated a total of $209 million for the NSGP, and most of the recipients have been Jewish organizations. Annual funding for the NSGP has averaged $20 million. But the results of OU Advocacy\u2019s latest drive to increase safety at schools and shuls didn\u2019t stop there: This year, Congress authorized an additional $10 million in security grants for schools, synagogues and other buildings located outside the NSGP\u2019s designated major metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"241\" data-public-id=\"Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-post-16974 wp-image-16975\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_300,h_241,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"\" data-crop=\"1.24\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679418923\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_300,h_241,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA 760w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_648,h_520,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_448,h_359,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_248,h_199,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679418923\/Jewishaction\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart\/ou-advocacy-nsgp-funding-grant-chart.png?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a>Also in March, Congress approved other legislative items within the framework of an omnibus appropriations bill that were at the top of OU Advocacy\u2019s agenda:<\/p>\n<p>1) The Taylor Force Act will suspend American financial aid to the Palestinian Authority as long as it continues to pay financial stipends to terrorists and their families.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0 The STOP School Violence Act includes Jewish and other nonpublic schools.
