Children’s Justice Act (CJAC) Grant Program

Eligible Applicants

Additional Requirements

Faith-based organizations applying for grant funding do not have to relinquish or modify their religious identity (e.g., remove religious symbols) to be considered eligible applicants. However, grant funding may not be used to fund any inherently religious activity, such as prayer or worship. Organizations may continue to engage in inherently religious activities; however, such activities may not coincide with activities funded by the grant—i.e., such religious activities must be separate (in time and place) from the grant funded activity. Further, any participation in religious activities by individuals receiving services provided under the grant must be voluntary.
