Common use of Religious Identity Clause in Contracts

Religious Identity. A faith-based organization that is a recipient or subrecipient of CDBG program funds will retain its independence, autonomy, expression of religious beliefs, or religious character. Such organization will retain its independence from federal, state, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct CDBG funds to support any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Among other things, faith-based organizations may use space in their facilities to provide CDBG-funded services, without removing or altering religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious symbols. In addition, a CDBG -funded religious organization retains its authority over its internal governance, and it may retain religious terms in its organization’s name, select its board members on a religious basis, and include religious references in its organization’s mission statements and other governing documents.
