Eligibility
To be eligible for a Community Garden and Sexual Health Project contract, all grantees must complete the grantee pre-award requirements:
- Apply for or update their DUNS number. This must be done yearly.
- Apply for or update their SAM registration and receive a SAM cage code. This must be done yearly.
- Be registered and in good standing with the Illinois Secretary of State. (This is not required of governmental entities and schools.)
- Register with the GATA/CSFA system. The system will automatically check registrations with the above-mentioned systems. It will also check to see if the agency is on the federal excluded parties list and if the agency is on the State of Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list. If grantees are not up to date on the registrations, or are listed on the federal list or Illinois Stop Pay/Compliance list, grant applications will not be accepted until these situations are resolved.
- Complete the Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment on the GATA/CSFA system- also known as the ICQ (short for Internal Controls Questionnaire).
- Submit a Programmatic Risk Assessment for each grant they apply.
Details about these requirements and applicable links can be found on the Grant Application Information and Instructions webpage or the GATA website.
