FY25 Applications Open in Astra

With the release of both an updated NOFO (as of 8/6/25), and the NSGP Investment Justification (IJ) Form by FEMA, the Kansas Highway Patrol (Kansas SAA) has opened the application process on Astra

If you do not currently have an account on Astra, but would like to create an NSGP submission, you can register for an Astra account here. New user registrations are manually reviewed by an admin, so please allow up to 1-2 business days to hear from the system after submitting a registration request.

The SAA will be informed at a later date when the Kansas submissions will be due to FEMA. We anticipate that once we do receive timeline details from FEMA, it may be a very short turnaround time. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to prepare and submit at their earliest convenience.
