The grantee agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 28 C . F . R. Part 38, the Department of Justice regulation governing "Equal Treatment for Faith Based Organizations" (the " Equal Treatment Regulation" ). The Equal Treatment Regulation provides in part that Department of Justice grant awards of direct funding may not be used to fund any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. 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 grantee or a sub-grantee 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. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, faith- based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for employment.
