Grantees agree to use grant funds exclusively for charitable purposes as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). No portion of a grant is earmarked for use in carrying out propaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation. Grantees agree not to use any portion of grant funds to participate in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office, to make grants to individuals on a non-objective basis, or for any non-charitable purpose. In addition, each grantee agrees that it will not promote, support, or engage in terrorism of any kind, nor will it make sub-grants to any entity or individual that engages in these activities. Any unused portion grants, or amounts not used for charitable purposes, will be returned to Youthprise.
