Meng said members of both parties must come together to increase funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and identified herself as the top Democrat on the House appropriations subcommittee that funds federal law enforcement and public safety.
Assessments
The promised action was to work to increase NSGP funding, and the FY2026 appropriations law enacted during Meng's current federal term provided $300 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, up from the FY2025 program funding level of $274.5 million. Meng also publicly pressed for increased NSGP funding before enactment from her House Appropriations position. Her reported vote against the broader package does not negate that the specific funding objective was achieved in the same term.
