NJ State And Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP)

The application window for the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025 NJ State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) opened and will close on September 5, 2025.

Eligibility

All New Jersey state and local government entities are eligible to apply for NJ FFY 2025 SLCGP cybersecurity resources.

Funding

For FFY25 SLCGP New Jersey will receive $1,703,280.00 from the Federal government. The state share is $1,135,520 for a total of $2,838,000. Throughout the lifecycle of the SLCGP, 80% of the grant funds are required to be allocated to reduce cybersecurity risks in local governments, with 25% of the funds specifically allocated for cybersecurity risk reduction in rural jurisdictions (populations less than or equal to 50,000).

SLCGP Projects

To ensure as many New Jersey entities can benefit from the limited SLCGP funds, the software, hardware, and services procured with the grant funds will be passed through to state and local government entities by the NJCCIC. We’re continuing to carry over the four first-year projects to this year. These projects address the following: Cybersecurity Governance and Planning, Cyber Resilience Assessments, Enhancing Cybersecurity Resilience through endpoint, application, and identification and authentication technologies, and Workforce Development.

Please visit the NJ SLCGP webpage for more information regarding the plan, and how to apply.

New Jersey local government entities that wish to participate in the SLCGP are required to complete and submit a Local Consent Agreement and the NJ SLCGP Resource Request Application. Sample copies of the NJ SLCGP Request Application and the Local Consent Agreement are attached to this email so that applicants can collect the information they will need to complete the online forms.
