Grants for Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces

The Adaptive Sport Grant Application, OMB Number 2900-0820, outlines the requirements for organizations seeking grants to provide adaptive sports programs for veterans with disabilities. It details sections for organization and grant information, contact information, program specifics (including UEI, CAGE, EIN numbers, project dates, target areas, and disability groups served), and experience with veterans and federal funds. The application emphasizes the voluntary nature of providing information, its use for eligibility determination, and potential verification through computer matching programs. Required attachments include Exhibit A for Program Goals and Deliverables, Exhibit B for the Program Budget and Expected Expenditures by category (Operations, Equipment, Travel, Supplies, Administrative, Personnel), Exhibit C for Equipment Purchases over $5,000, and Exhibit D for Adaptive Sports Offered. The document stresses that application approval does not constitute a Grant Agreement, which will be finalized separately within 60 days.

The Adaptive Sport Grant Application, OMB Number 2900-0820, is used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to determine eligibility for adaptive sports benefits. This voluntary application requires information under Title 38, U.S.C., Sections 1710, 1712, and 1722, which may be verified through computer matching and disclosed as per the Privacy Act. Applicants must provide organization and grant details (name, address, program title, requested amount), contact information (primary/alternate phone, email), and program specifics (UEI, Congressional district, SAM CAGE, EIN, project dates, target areas, category, experience with disabled veterans, disability groups served, complementary funding, and federal funds management experience). The application also requires details on personnel qualifications, partnering organizations, program goals and deliverables (Exhibit A), a detailed budget (Exhibit B) outlining expenditures across categories like operations, equipment, travel, supplies, and administrative and personnel costs. Additionally, it requires an equipment purchases list (Exhibit C) and adaptive sports offered (Exhibit D). Approval leads to a Grant Agreement, with termination if terms are not agreed upon within 60 days.
