REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
At the end of the de-installation period, grant recipients will receive a final evaluation of the return of the galleries to their original condition. Within thirty (30) days after acceptance of the return of the galleries to original condition, or by October 13, 2025, whichever date comes first, the award recipient must submit a CAH Grant Budget Form and a Final Report through the grants’ portal to CAH. The CAH Grant Budget Form can be retrieved from dcarts.dc.gov (click on the “Grants” tab and selecting “Resources for Grant Recipients”). All grant awardees are responsible for demonstrating and documenting expenditures for the full (100%) grant amount.
Grant recipients who do not complete the CAH Grant Budget Form and Final Report by Monday, October 13, 2025, are ineligible for further CAH funding.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND FEDERAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
All applicants must obtain from the District of Columbia a Citywide Clean Hands Certification (CCH) and submit this document as part of the application. Please request or update CCH to include with your application. Applications without the certificate will be deemed ineligible. This certification is required before any grant-related funding is disbursed, and grantees must remain in compliance throughout the term of the grant.
The CCH website application supports the Citywide “Clean Hands” Certification Mandate (D. C. Code § 47-2862) which stipulates that individuals and businesses are to be denied District goods or services if there is a debt owed to the District of Columbia of more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for fees, fines, taxes, or penalties. Applicants who are District residents may visit the following site to obtain more CCH information: mytax.dc.gov CAH recommends applicants who have never applied for a Clean Hands to begin the process immediately, as it may take up to 10 business days to complete.
Legal Compliance
Federal and District of Columbia law requires all grant applicants to comply with all applicable laws and regulations that regard non-discrimination. The list of those laws and regulations include: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-352) (which provides that grant recipients must take adequate steps to ensure that people with limited English proficiency receive the language assistance necessary to afford them meaningful access to grant-related programs, activities and services); Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-352) (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin); Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. §§ 1681-1686) (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794); the DC Human Rights Act of 1977 (D.C. Code §§ 2-1401 – 1404.04); and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 - 12213) (which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disabilities).
