Section 3: Program Scope

B. IF RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION WAS CONFIRMED ABOVE IN SECTION 1, PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION. IF RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION WAS NOT CHECKED IN SECTION 1, THIS SECTION MAY BE LEFT BLANK.

A faith-based nonprofit organization is eligible to receive and apply for a grant on the same basis as other nonprofit organizations, with respect to programs which are eligible. In the selection of grantees, the County will not discriminate for or against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious characterization or affiliation. However, certain requests to utilize funding for programs with religious purposes may not be eligible due to constitutional principles of the United States and/or the State of Delaware.

Briefly describe the components of the program that involve religious purposes and the components that involve secular purposes, or non-religious purposes. If both non-religious and religious purposes are involved in the program, this narrative must include the specific actions that will be implemented in order to ensure that the funding is solely used for non-religious purposes and will not be used to advance or inhibit religious or faith-based activities.

If your organization has a religious affiliation, please submit proof with this application that there is separate accounting for non-religious activities. After the awarded funds have been made, receipts of the non-religious purchases shall be submitted in accordance with Section 5 below before funds will be disbursed.
