About this file
The Statement of Legal Eligibility document outlines two options for nonprofit coalitions applying for federal grant funding, specifically for the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program. Option 1 allows 501(c)(3) organizations to apply directly, requiring the organization's name and Employer/Taxpayer Identification Number (EIN/TIN) to be listed on the SF-424 form. Option 2 is for non-501(c)(3) organizations, which must use a Fiscal Agent to apply on their behalf, with the Fiscal Agent's details listed on the SF-424 and a Memorandum of Understanding required to describe the relationship between the Fiscal Agent and Coalition.
The document is a mandatory certification form that requires the legal applicant to sign and date the statement, confirming legal eligibility to receive federal funds. This statement is part of the application process for the DFC Support Program, which is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and aims to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth through community-based collaborative efforts. The program provides grants typically ranging from $125,000 to $375,000 annually, with a focus on establishing partnerships across community sectors to address youth substance use risk and protective factors.
