SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 45 CFR part 1627, LSC must publish, on
an annual basis, ``notice of the requirements concerning the format and
contents of the application annually in the Federal Register and on
LSC's website.'' 45 CFR 1627.4(b). This Notice and the publication of
the Subgrant Application on LSC's website satisfy Sec. 1627.4(b)'s
notice requirement for the Basic Field Grant program. Only current or
prospective recipients of LSC Basic Field Grants may apply for approval
to subgrant these funds.
Applications for approval to make 2026 mid-year Basic Field Grant
fund subgrants are available. Applications to make calendar year 2027
Basic Field Grant fund subgrants will be available on or around April
13, 2026. An applicant must apply to make a mid-year subgrant of LSC
Basic Field Grant funds through GrantEase at least 45 days before the
subgrant's proposed effective date. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(2). An applicant
must apply to make calendar year subgrants of 2027 Basic Field Grant
funds through GrantEase in conjunction with its application(s) for 2027
Basic Field Grant funding. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(1). The deadline for 2027
Basic Field Grant funding application submissions is June 1, 2026.
All applicants must provide answers to the application questions in
GrantEase and upload the following documents:
<bullet> A draft subgrant agreement (with the required terms
provided in LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template); and
<bullet> A subgrant budget (using LSC's Subgrant Budget Template).
Applicants seeking to subgrant to a new subrecipient that is not a
current LSC grantee, or to renew a subgrant with an organization that
is not a current LSC grantee in a year in which the applicant is
required to submit a full funding application, must also upload:
<bullet> The subrecipient's accounting manual;
<bullet> The subrecipient's most recent audited financial
statements;
<bullet> The subrecipient's current cost allocation policy (if not
in the accounting manual); and
<bullet> The recipient's 45 CFR part 1627 Policy (required under 45
CFR 1627.7).
A list of subgrant application questions, the Subgrant Agreement
Template, and the Subgrant Budget Template are available on LSC's
website at <a href="http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant">http://www.lsc.gov/grants-grantee-resources/grantee-guidance/how-apply-subgrant</a>.
LSC encourages applicants to use LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template
as a model subgrant agreement. If the applicant does not use LSC's
Template, the proposed agreement must include, at a minimum, the
substance of the provisions of the Template.
Once submitted, LSC will evaluate the application and provide
applicants with instructions on any needed modifications to the
submitted documents or Draft Agreement provided with the application.
The applicant must then upload a final and signed subgrant agreement
through GrantEase by the date requested.
As required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(3), LSC will inform applicants of
its decision to disapprove or approve an application for a 2026 mid-
year subgrant no later than the subgrant's proposed effective date. As
required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(1)(ii), LSC will inform applicants of its
decision to disapprove or approve a 2027 calendar-year subgrant no
later than the date LSC informs applicants of LSC's 2027 Basic Field
Grant funding decisions.
(Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2996g(e).)
