State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program
The program is available for government agencies, which include counties, municipalities, local public authorities, school districts, special districts, intrastate districts, councils of government, regional or interstate government entities, agencies or instrumentalities of a local government, authorized tribal governments and organizations, rural communities, unincorporated towns or villages, and other public entities.
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). The Cybersecurity Steering Committee has approved additional options to be added that will be outlined in the Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) for the remaining funding cycles.
For the funding cycle that closed May 30, 2025, grant applicants will be notified once FEMA releases the FFY23 funds. Another grant application cycle is planned for FFY23 funds, timeline dependent upon FEMA.
Cost share waivers were approved for FFY22 and FFY23 funding cycles. The FFY24 and FFY25 cost shares of 30% and 40% remain.
