| 7:7:1.1.1.1.25.0.45.1 | 7 | Agriculture | 16 | PART 16—EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS | § 16.1 Purpose and applicability. | USDA | [89 FR 15707, Mar. 4, 2024] | (a) The purpose of this part is to set forth Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy regarding equal opportunity for faith-based organizations to participate in USDA assistance programs for which other private organizations are eligible. (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this part, the policy outlined in this part applies to all recipients and subrecipients of USDA assistance to which 2 CFR part 400 applies, and to recipients and subrecipients of Commodity Credit Corporation assistance that is administered by agencies of USDA. | |||||||
| 7:7:1.1.1.1.25.0.45.2 | 7 | Agriculture | 16 | PART 16—EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS | § 16.2 Definitions. | USDA | [85 FR 82132, Dec. 17, 2020], as amended at 89 FR 15707, Mar. 4, 2024] | As used in this part: Direct Federal financial assistance, Federal financial assistance provided directly, Direct funding, or Directly funded means financial assistance received by an entity selected by the Government or intermediary (under this part) to carry out a service (e.g., by contract, grant, loan agreement, or cooperative agreement). References to Federal financial assistance will be deemed to be references to direct Federal financial assistance, unless the referenced assistance meets the definition of indirect Federal financial assistance or Federal financial assistance provided indirectly. Except as otherwise provided by USDA regulation, the recipients of sub-grants that receive Federal financial assistance through State-administered programs ( e.g., flow-through programs such as the National School Lunch Program authorized under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, 42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq. ) are not considered recipients of USDA indirect assistance. These recipients of sub-awards are considered recipients of USDA direct financial assistance. Explicitly religious activities include activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Any such activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services funded under the agency's grant or cooperative agreement, and participation must be voluntary for beneficiaries of the agency grant or cooperative agreement-funded programs and services. Federal financial assistance means assistance that non-Federal entities receive or administer in the form of grants, contracts, loans, loan guarantees, property, cooperative agreements, food commodities, direct appropriations, or other assistance, but does not include a tax credit, deduction, or exemption. Federal financial assistance may be direct or indirect. Indirect Federal financial assistance or Federal financial assistance provided indirectly refers to situations where the service provider receives th… | |||||||
| 7:7:1.1.1.1.25.0.45.3 | 7 | Agriculture | 16 | PART 16—EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS | § 16.3 Faith-based organizations and Federal financial assistance. | USDA | [85 FR 82133, Dec. 17, 2020, as amended at 89 FR 15707, Mar. 4, 2024] | (a) A faith-based organization is eligible, on the same basis as any other organization, to access and participate in any USDA assistance programs for which it is otherwise eligible. Neither the USDA awarding agency nor any State or local government or other intermediary receiving funds under any USDA awarding agency program or service shall, in the selection of service providers, discriminate for or against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious character, motives, or affiliation, or lack thereof, or on the basis of conduct that would not be considered grounds to favor or disfavor a similarly situated secular organization. Decisions about awards of USDA direct assistance or USDA indirect assistance must also be free from political interference, or even the appearance of such interference, and must be made on the basis of merit, not on the basis of religion or religious belief, or lack thereof. Notices or announcements of award opportunities and notices of award or contracts shall include language substantially similar to that in appendices A and B to this part. (b) A faith-based organization that participates in USDA assistance programs will retain its autonomy; right of expression; religious character; authority over its governance; and independence from Federal, State, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, development, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use USDA direct assistance to support any ineligible purposes, including explicitly religious activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. A faith-based organization may: (1) Use its facilities to provide services and programs funded with financial assistance from USDA awarding agency without concealing, altering, or removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols, (2) Retain religious terms in its organization's name, (3) Select its board members and otherw… | |||||||
| 7:7:1.1.1.1.25.0.45.4 | 7 | Agriculture | 16 | PART 16—EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS | § 16.4 Responsibilities of participating organizations. | USDA | [85 FR 82134, Dec. 17, 2020, as amended at 89 FR 15708, Mar. 4, 2024] | (a) Any organization that receives direct or indirect Federal financial assistance shall not, with respect to services supported in whole or in part with Federal financial assistance, or in their outreach activities related to such services, discriminate against a current or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion, religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice. However, an organization that participates in a program funded by indirect financial assistance need not modify its program activities to accommodate a beneficiary who chooses to expend the indirect aid on the organization's program. (b) Organizations that receive USDA direct assistance under any USDA program may not engage in explicitly religious activities, including activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization, as part of the programs or services funded by USDA direct assistance. If an organization conducts such activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services supported with USDA direct assistance, and participation must be voluntary for beneficiaries of the programs or services supported with such USDA direct assistance. The use of indirect Federal financial assistance is not subject to this restriction. Nothing in this part restricts the Department's authority under applicable Federal law to fund activities that can be directly funded by the Government consistent with the Establishment Clause. (c)(1) All organizations that receive USDA direct assistance under any domestic USDA program must give written notice to all beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries of certain protections in a manner and form prescribed by USDA. The required language for this written notice to beneficiaries is set forth in appendix C to this part. This notice must include the following information: (i) The organization may not discriminate against beneficiaries or pro… | |||||||

| 7:7:1.1.1.1.25.0.45.6 | 7 | Agriculture | 16 | PART 16—EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS | § 16.6 Compliance. | USDA | [89 FR 15709, Mar. 4, 2024] | USDA agencies will monitor compliance with this part in the course of regular oversight of USDA programs. |
