SLCGP is a federal grant
administered by Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) and Division of Enterprise Technology (DET) that provides support for units of government that
meet certain criteria. This funding opportunity can be used on
cybersecurity-related activities, including purchase and installation or
activation of multifactor authentication (MFA), managed detection and
response (MDR), endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR).
There are four cycles of funding made available with increasing cost share
requirements. Cost
share waivers were approved for FFY22 and FFY23 funding cycles. The FFY24 and

The application window for FFY23 funds closed on
May 30, 2025. Grant applications are in review and approvals for the grant
