Are there different standards for faith-based organizations?
No.
You can compete for grant funds like any other nongovernmental organization. We decide who we fund solely on whether you can perform the work.
Using your facility
All organizations may use their facilities to provide federally funded services. There’s no need to remove or alter art, icons, literature, or other symbols.
Keeping your identity
You may keep your organizational identity. This includes your name, internal governance, and mission statements.
Discriminating against clients
You may not treat clients (or potential clients) differently or unfairly when carrying out a program we fund. Whether it’s due to:
- Religion or religious belief
- Refusing to hold a religious belief or take part in a religious practice
Separating activities at your facility
Client may volunteer to take part in a religious activity or service that you offer. You cannot force them to do so. And these must occur at a separate time and place from any activities and services we fund.
Do you give funding to individual people?
You cannot apply for a grant. However, if you’re a health care professional, you can apply for one of our loan repayment or scholarship programs.
