EQUAL PARTICIPATION BY FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS Sample Clauses

EQUAL PARTICIPATION BY FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS a. Faith-Based Organizations Encouraged Faith-based organizations are eligible, on the same basis as any other organization, to participate in any Internews program for which they are otherwise eligible. Neither USAID nor entities that make and administer subawards of USAID funds shall discriminate for or against an organization on the basis of the organization’s religious character or affiliation. Additionally, religious organizations shall not be disqualified from participating in Internews programs because such organizations are motivated or influenced by religious faith to provide social services, or because of their religious character or affiliation. Decisions about awards of Internews financial assistance must be free from political interference or even the appearance of such interference. Awards must be made on the basis of merit, not the basis of the religious affiliation of an applicant, or lack thereof. A faith-based organization may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, development, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs, within the limits contained in this provision. For more information, see the USAID Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Web site and 22 CFR 205.1.
