Additional Info
Eligible applicants are community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use that have not yet previously received a DFC grant.  A DFC legal applicant must reside within the United States and/or the U.S. territories.  Statutory Eligibility Requirements, written into the DFC Act, are inherent in the language of the DFC Support Program. Applicants should refer to Table 3: DFC Statutory Eligibility Requirements, which contains a summary of the requirements, the evidence required, and where to place it in the application. Failure to meet any single statutory eligibility requirement will cause the application to be deemed ineligible; in such case, it will not move forward to merit review.  The final authority lies with the DFC Administrator to determine the eligibility of an application.  Should your application fail to meet the statutory eligibility requirements, the person listed as the Authorized Representative on the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424) will receive a notification stating why the application was deemed ineligible. Additional information may not be added to an application after the application deadline. It is the responsibility of the applicant to submit a complete application prior to the application deadline. All forms, with the exception of the IRS form proving 501(c)(3) status, that demonstrate statutory eligibility must be dated between January 2021 and the deadline for submission of this application. All forms that require signatures must be signed and dated or the application will be screened out and not move forward to merit review. Handwritten and/or electronic signatures are acceptable.
