Nine Jewish organizations in Colorado will share $250,000 in state grants to boost security. The funding will help synagogues, schools, and community centers improve safety measures as concerns over threats to faith-based communities grow.

The grants, part of Colorado’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program, will cover reinforced doors, security cameras, access control systems, and emergency training. These upgrades aim to protect community members during worship, education, and cultural events.

Administered by the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the program supports at-risk organizations across the state. This year’s Jewish recipients are based in both urban and rural areas, highlighting a broad commitment to safety.

Jewish leaders say the funding will help maintain open and welcoming spaces while addressing modern security challenges. The move follows a nationwide push to strengthen safety for Jewish institutions and promote resilience against antisemitism.
