Florida · Community Center, JCC & Museum
Florida lists one security-grant program of its own in this catalog, Florida Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and its card below reads “Eligible” for community centers and museums. The federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program applies in Florida too, through the Florida Division of Emergency Management — its urban-area stream for Miami / Fort Lauderdale, Tampa Area, Orlando Area and Jacksonville Area, its state stream for the rest of Florida. Every rule below is quoted from the program's own materials, and each card names the agency to confirm it with.
One card per program in this catalog for Florida — the state's own program first, then the federal NSGP streams. Each badge reflects what the program's own materials say about community centers and museums; it is not a determination, so confirm with the agency named on the card before you plan around it.

What each program asks applicants to provide. Where a program treats community centers and museums differently — usually over the IRS determination letter — the cell reads “see note” and the numbered note under the table says how.
