Recipients of direct grants may still engage in inherently religious activities, but such activities must be separate in time or place from the Department of Justice funded program,and participation in such activities by individuals receiving services from the recipient or a subrecipient must be voluntary. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs directly funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. The subrecipient also understands and agrees that award funds may not be used to discriminate against or denigrate the religious or moral beliefs of students who participate in programs for which financial assistance is provided from the award,or the parent or legal guardian of such students. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award,faith-based organizations may, in some circumstances,consider religion as a basis for employment.
