About the Grant Program
The Local Government Cybersecurity Grant Program is a $40 million competitive grant funded through Section 200 of the enacted Florida FY 2024-25 General Appropriations Act. This program equips local governments with software, services, and solutions designed to enhance their cybersecurity posture, protecting both critical infrastructure and Floridians' data. Active grant recipients can re-apply for the same solutions, with any remaining funds made available to new applicants or existing partners looking to change providers or add new solutions.
