Hoyer, Dutch Ruppersberger, John Sarbanes, Kweisi Mfume, Anthony G. Brown, Jamie B. Raskin, and David Trone (all D-Md.) announced $10,691,398 to enhance security measures at local religious and nonprofit community organizations across the state. This federal funding is provided through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), which the lawmakers fought to deliver a $70 million funding increase for in the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill. The program provides support for physical security enhancements and training to religious nonprofit organizations in response to the rise in religiously motivated attacks on faith communities across the country.\n\n\u201cReligious liberty is a fundamental freedom protected by our Constitution, but the concerning rise of hate-fueled attacks against religious communities threatens that liberty both here in Maryland and across the country. We fought for these investments so our faith-based organizations can ensure the protection and security of their members. Team Maryland will continue working with our faith organizations to secure more resources so all Marylanders can be free to worship as they choose without fear,\u201d said the lawmakers.\n\nA full list of award recipients is below:\n\nAgudath Israel of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nBais Yaakov School for Girls - $150,000\n\nYaakov School for Girls - $150,000\n\nBaltimore Hebrew Congregation - $150,000\n\nBeth Am In-Town Synagogue - $150,000\n\nBeth Tfiloh - $150,000\n\nB'nai Israel Congregation of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nBnos Yisroel of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nChabad Israel Center of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nChabad Lubavitch of Hunt Valley - $150,000\n\nChabad of Towson - $150,000\n\nCheder Chabad, Inc. - $150,000\n\nChizuk Amuno Congregation - $150,000\n\nCongregation Beit Yaakov - $150,000\n\nCongregation Shomrei Emunah, Inc. - $150,000\n\nCongretation of Kol Shalom - $150,000\n\nDarchei Noam Montessori - $150,000\n\nEdward Myerberg Senior Center - $150,000\n\nHar Sinai - Ohem Shalom Congregation - $150,000\n\nMesivta Kesser Torah of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nNer Israel Rabbinical College - $150,000\n\nOhr Chadash Congregation - $150,000\n\nOwings Mills Synagogue, Inc. - $150,000\n\nSt. Mary's Roman Catholic Church - $150,000\n\nStar-K Certification, Inc. - $150,000\n\nTalmudical Academy of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nTemple Beth Sholom of Anne Arundel County - $150,000\n\nYeshivas Lubavitch of Baltimore - $150,000\n\nYeshivas Toras Simcha - $150,000\n\nGethsemane United Methodist Church - $150,000\n\nIslamic Center of Maryland - $150,000\n\nJewish Community Center of Prince Georges County - $150,000\n\nKemp Mill Synagogue - $150,000\n\nMagen David Sephardic Congregation - $150,000\n\nSeven Locks Jewish Community - $150,000\n\nTemple Beth Ami - $150,000\n\nTemple Emanuel - $150,000\n\nBeth Sholom Congregation - $150,000\n\nCalvary Assembly of God, Inc. - $150,000\n\nIslamic Society of Frederick, Inc. - $150,000\n\nMother Seton School, Inc. - $150,000\n\nShoresh, Inc. - $150,000\n\nThe Banner School - $150,000\n\nTidalHealth Peninsula Regional - $150,000\n\nWilliamsport Church of God - $150,000\n\nJewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore - $149,985\n\nJewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore - $149,974\n\nSt. Paul Church - $148,943\n\nIslamic Community Center of Laurel - $148,000\n\nBishop Walsh School - $147,366\n\nIslamic Society of Baltimore - $147,257\n\nSt. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church - $147,097\n\nSt. Isaac Jogues Catholic Church - $141,227\n\nSt. Agnes Catholic School - $139,971\n\nResurrection St. Paul School - $139,560\n\nPrince George's Muslim Association - $139,450\n\nMt.
