Washington Passes Alyssa’s Law
FY26 Washington Nonprofit Security Grant Program
School leaders are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive learning environment as a cornerstone of their school’s mission. To support these efforts, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) recently opened applications for the FY26 Washington Nonprofit Security Grant Program application, through which Washington nonpublic schools are eligible for up to $200k to support safety equipment upgrades.
The program provides “funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements and activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist or other extremist attack. The intent is to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. It is also designed to promote coordination and collaboration in emergency preparedness activities among public and private community representatives, as well as state and local government agencies.”
In order to be eligible, organization must meet the following requirments: be registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit or otherwise described under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and tax-exempt under section 501(a) of the IRC; demonstrate, through the application, that the organization is at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack; and must complete a Notice of Intent form to have their application considered for funding, and it must be received by April 30, 2026.
The CENTEGIX Safety Platform®, including our wearable CrisisAlert™ badges, aligns with the grant’s focus on rapid incident response and real-time emergency communications.
The deadline for submitting your NOI for this grant is April 30, 2026.
Connect with the CENTEGIX team for support through the application process, including assistance with the technical details and documentation you need to submit your application with confidence.
Alyssa’s Law Passes in Washington: SB 5004
Passed in May 2025, Senate Bill 5004, also known as Alyssa’s Law, mandates that “school districts must work collaboratively with local law enforcement agencies, public safety answering points, and safety and security staff to develop an emergency response system using evolving technology to expedite the response and arrival of law enforcement in the event of a threat or emergency at a school.”
“Emergency response system” includes:
Panic or alert buttons linked to school administration, school district staff, and emergency response providers
Live video feed with law enforcement, school district, and school access
Live audio feed with law enforcement, school district, and school access
Remote control access to doors
Live interactive two-way communications
A system that complies with applicable state building code requirements for group occupancies for emergency response systems or systems developed as part of a safe school plan
Washington school districts can comply with the requirements of SB 1004 with the CENTEGIX Safety Platform® featuring CrisisAlert™ wearable panic buttons and Safety Blueprint® digital mapping.
