2018 LSC Certification (PDF for printing)
If awarded a 2018 Basic Field Grant, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which will govern our relationship and your activities during the grant term:
You wish to use LSC funds to purchase real property or to purchase or lease personal property of a certain current market price (see 45 C.F.R. Part 1630);
The Accounting Guide for LSC Recipients (2010 edition),
The CSR Handbook (Rev. 2017), and
The Property Acquisition and Management Manual.
Cost Standards and Procedures (45 C.F.R. Part 1630). All costs charged to an LSC grant, including your Basic Field Grant, must have been incurred while executing the grant, must be reasonable and necessary to the grant, and must be adequately and contemporaneously documented in your business records. Costs that do not comply with our cost standards may be questioned and disallowed as provided at LSC regulations at Part 1630. All LSC-related derivative income is subject to the cost standards in LSC regulations at Part 1630. If you want to carry-over 10% or more of your LSC funds from one grant year to another, you must request a fund balance waiver from OCE according to the regulatory process and timelines established in 45 C.F.R. Part 1628.
Grant Term and Renewal. Basic Field Grants are awarded for up to a 3-year term. You may be required to agree to special grant conditions as a condition of receiving a Basic Field Grant. Multi-year grants must be renewed each year. Upon renewal, additional terms and conditions may apply.
Termination, Limited Reduction of Funding, and Debarment Procedures (45 C.F.R. Part 1606; Program Letter 15-3—Enforcement Mechanisms). LSC may terminate your Basic Field Grant in whole or in part if you substantially violate these terms and conditions or substantially fail to provide high quality, economical, and effective legal assistance. If a substantial violation does not warrant termination, LSC may reduce your funding by less than 5%. For good cause shown, LSC may also debar you from receiving future Basic Field Grants.
If you anticipate terminating your Basic Field Grant at the end of the grant term or during the grant term for any reason, you must provide the LSC Office of Program Performance (OPP) with written notice at least sixty (60) calendar days before the anticipated grant termination date. You must include a plan for the orderly close-out of the grant and transition of client services as described above with your notice.
Intellectual Property Rights. You own all Work Products that you develop or improve using LSC funds,unless you have an agreement with a third-party vendor establishing otherwise. Work Products for purposes of this provision include all writings, technology, inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, products, and materials that you develop or improve using LSC funds. Regardless of who owns the Work Products, you and LSC have a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, distribute, publish, and prepare derivative works of the LSC funded Work Products, including making those works available to other LSC grantees and access to justice partners.
Conflicting If there is a conflict between these or other LSC grant terms and conditions and any provision of the LSC Act, LSC appropriations, or LSC regulations, then your grant will be governed by the applicable provision of the LSC Act, LSC appropriations, and/or LSC regulations, consistent with the Severability section below.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions constitute our entire agreement with respect to your 2018 Basic Field Grant,and supersede all previous agreements, oral or written, relating to your 2018 Basic Field Grant.
