Additional Information on Eligibility

All coalitions applying for a DFC Mentoring grant must meet the following eligibility criteria or the application will not be considered for funding. (We will consider the information provided in the sections of the application identified below in order to determine whether or not an individual applicant meets the eligibility criteria). DFC MENTORING GRANT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS HOW AND WHERE TO DOCUMENT 1. The coalition must be a legally eligible entity. The coalition must be an organization legally eligible to apply for a grant or must make arrangements with an organization that will apply for the grant on behalf of the coalition and serve as the legal and fiscal agent for the grant. That is, a single organization (i.e., the coalition or its fiscal agent) must be the legal applicant, the recipient of the award, and the entity legally responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. Legal/fiscal agents acting on behalf of a coalition may be domestic public or private non-profit entities, such as State, local, or tribal governments; public or private universities and colleges; professional associations; voluntary organizations, self-help groups; consumer and provider services-oriented constituency groups; community and faith-based organizations; and tribal organizations. 1 How: A coalition serving as its own Fiscal Agent should simply state they are a legally eligible entity. If a coalition is NOT acting as its own Fiscal Agent, the applicant must include a completed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the coalition and the Fiscal Agent. *see Sample MOU-Coalition & Fiscal Agent (Attachment 7). * for further information and guidance on the use of a Fiscal Agent, see Attachment 6. Where: Part V, Section G, Documentation for Eligibility Requirements. 2. The mentor coalition must be in receipt of a "regular" DFC grant during the period of the mentoring relationship. (In order to qualify for a DFC Mentoring grant, you must have a continuation award through the "regular" DFC grant process or, if you are a coalition applying for a new "regular" DFC grant, you can be considered only if you receive the "regular" DFC award.) 2. In Section I of "Supporting Documentation", applicants must provide the date the mentor coalition first received a "regular" DFC grant. Applicants also must identify how many years of "regular" DFC funding the mentor coalition has received. 3.

In Section E of the Project Narrative, applicants must provide both a list of individuals from the mentor coalition (staff/members/volunteers) who will participate in the mentoring project and a description of the role of each individual. 5. The mentor coalition must propose to serve as a mentor to a coalition or coalitions that: a) are not in receipt of a "regular" DFC award during the period of the mentoring relationship AND, b) have never before received a "regular" DFC grant award. 5. In Section I, applicants must disclose whether the mentee coalition has submitted an application for a "regular" FY 2008 DFC award. 6. The mentor coalition must demonstrate that there is a willingness on the part of the mentee coalition and its target community to actively participate in the mentee process. 6.
