On Thursday, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich was joined by members of the Montgomery County Council, including Council President Gabe Albornoz, and nonprofit and faith leaders to announce 61 grant recipients of $700,000 in County funding to improve security and deter hate crimes through the County’s Nonprofit Security Grants program.

In May 2021, the Montgomery County Council approved $700,000 to be available in the Fiscal Year 2022 budget to be used for nonprofit organizations and facilities which have experienced, or are at high risk of experiencing, hate crimes. These grants are available to augment funds for security personnel or other security planning and training measures for nonprofit organizations located in Montgomery County. Faith-based facilities at risk of hate crimes were also eligible to apply. The funds are administered by the Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (OEMHS).
