CFR pt. 35, and 28 CFR pt. 54; all applicable state laws of A.R.S. § 41-1463; and Executive Order

activities by individuals receiving services from GRANTEE must be voluntary. The Equal
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs receiving
financial assistance from the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary’s religion. Notwithstanding any other special
condition of this award, faith-based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion
as a basis for employment.

requirements. Failure to comply may result in suspension of grant funds. Copies of all
submissions such as certifications to or correspondence with the Office for Civil Rights, Office of
