TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GRANT

In consideration of being considered for the award of an IYSSF grant, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned Applicant/Grantee agrees to the following Terms and Conditions. In the event that the IYSSF awards such a grant, these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all requirements of the grant have been fully and completely satisfied.

The Applicant/Grantee understands and agrees that the following Terms and Conditions are attached to and govern the distribution of any grant awarded by the IYSSF to the Applicant/Grantee.

The Applicant/Grantee certifies that the information contained in the application is true and correct and further certifies that any grant awarded by IYSSF shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in the application.

The Applicant/Grantee organization certifies that it is in good standing and not defunct or in default with any local, state, or federal agency and shall notify IYSSF if it ceases to remain so.

Applicants seeking to qualify for support shall not discriminate against any member, person or other user of its facilities or equipment on the basis of age, race, color, sex or national origin.

Grant request must conform to and foster the purposes set forth by IYSSF: To educate new shooting youth of the State of Indiana with respect to firearms and firearms history and hunting safety and marksmanship, as well as with respect to other subjects that are of importance to the well being of the general public.

Funds not used or committed for the specified purpose of the grant shall be returned to IYSSF. In addition, if the Applicant/Grantee dissolves, disbands, or otherwise ceases to exist or ceases to use any property or equipment obtained as a result of the grant for the purpose for which it was awarded, then the Applicant/Grantee shall contact IYSSF to arrange disposal or transfer of any usable property or equipment obtained with funds awarded under the grant.

Applicant/Grantee shall furnish written reports as required by IYSSF with respect to projects and activities financed in whole or in part by the grant, including a summary of funds expended. Such reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, an After Action Report in a form acceptable to IYSSF, a copy of which is attached and incorporated into this agreement by reference.

Grant funds shall not be used for payment of administrative fees, office overhead, or similar costs or expenses; deficit financing (payment for something already purchased or reimbursement for an event that has already taken place); or projects for commercial ventures (private business). Grant funds can be used for team expenses, such as, ammunition, travel, uniforms, range fees and more but CANNOT be used for firearm purchases (note that air guns are NOT considered firearms) or political lobbying. IYSSF reserves the right to audit a shooting program’s use of grant funds.

IYSSF does not approve multi-year funding of projects. Requests must be submitted for consideration each year. If funds are awarded in one year, that does not guarantee funding in subsequent years.

It is expressly understood that the Applicant/Grantee takes full responsibility in carrying out the project contemplated in the grant application. It is further agreed that the Applicant/Grantee holds IYSSF harmless from and against any and all liability relating to the effectuation of the grant or in any way arising out of or associated with or related to the grant or grant application or any act or omission of the Applicant/Grantee and, furthermore that the Applicant/Grantee shall indemnify IYSSF from any claims made or actions taken that are in any way arising out of or associated with or related to the grant or grant application or any action or omission of the Applicant/Grantee.

IRS regulations require that IYSSF continue to account for the use of grant monies by the grant recipient. All organizations or groups awarded grants by IYSSF must complete and return to IYSSF a final report detailing and accounting for how the grant funds were spent. Grant funds can only be expended in furtherance of the project documented on the grant application. Final reports shall be as complete as possible and include copies of receipts for items purchased with grant funds. Any unused funds must be returned to IYSSF and may not be retained for further use.

Failure to submit the Final Report on a timely basis or expending grant funds for purposes other than those for which they were sought will preclude the award of further grants to the grant recipient. In addition, IYSSF reserves the right to and will demand return of grant funds that were not spent for the purposes for which the grant was awarded. Such demand may include the initiation of legal proceedings, where appropriate, to recover misused funds. Unused grant funds should be returned to IYSSF so that they may be made available to other applicants.

Any violation of the Terms and Conditions set forth herein shall permit IYSSF to terminate any and all further distributions to the Applicant/Grantee, whether or not such distributions have been properly promised or pledged. Such remedy shall not be the sole remedy available to IYSSF and it shall retain the right to take any other actions allowable by law.

This agreement and any disputes arising there under shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Indiana, or if applicable, federal law. Any action arising under or related to this Agreement , or breech hereof, shall be brought only in a federal or state court sitting within the County of Marion, or the City of Indianapolis in the State of Indiana. The parties hereby consent to and subject themselves to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agree that jurisdiction and venue for any proceeding arising hereunder shall lie exclusively with such courts.

The Applicant/Grantee represents and warrants that acknowledgment of the Applicant/Grantee to the Terms and Conditions set forth herein is made by a duly authorized officer of the Applicant/Grantee organization.

I (we) herby certify that the information contained in this grant application is accurate. Furthermore, I (we) will abide by the requirements of any grant provide by IYSSF.
