About the Grant Program

Pending enactment of the Florida FY 2024-25 General Appropriations Act, the Local Government Cybersecurity Grant Program is a $40 Million competitive grant equipping local governments with software, services, and solutions that enhance local governments’ cybersecurity posture to protect their infrastructure and Floridians’ data. Active grant recipients can re-apply for the same solutions. Any remaining funding will be used for new applicants and existing partners wishing to change providers or add solutions.
