The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grant shall be used <br />exclusively for costs incurred directly in connection with the Project and as set forth in this Agreement, <br />and that failure to do so will result in the Grantee having to return the Grant to the ASPCA within ten <br />(10) days of the ASPCA’s request to do so. <br /> <br />The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any proposed changes to the Project, including, but not <br />limited to, the Project goals and objectives, the use or purpose of funds, the distribution of funds across <br />approved budget items, or any other substantive changes to the Project shall be fully approved by the <br />Grant Officer and memorialized with an amendment to the Agreement prior to initiating any such <br />changes. <br /> <br />Unless Grantee is expressly exempt from this requirement (e.g. as an agency or instrumentality of <br />government), it shall meet the ASPCA Grantee Organizational Standards (the “Standards”), attached <br />hereto as Schedule 1. If Grantee does not meet the standards by the Effective Date, the ASPCA may, <br />in its sole discretion, grant additional time for the Grantee to come into compliance with the Standards. <br />If additional time is granted, Grantee shall have 12-months or until the Expiration Date, whichever is <br />sooner, to comply with the requirements and provide proof of compliance as a part of its required <br />reporting. <br /> <br />The Grantee agrees that at no time will any funds it receives from the ASPCA be used to attempt to <br />influence the outcome of any selection, nomination, election, or appointment of any individual to any <br />public office or office of a political organization within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section <br />527(e)(2), and shall furthermore not use any of the funds it receives from the ASPCA to participate in, <br />or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements) any political campaign on behalf <br />of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office. <br /> <br />For projects that include grant funds used to purchase food for a gathering of individuals, the Grantee <br />will limit the use of ASPCA funds to purchase vegetarian, vegan, fish or welfare-certified meat <br />products only. “Welfare-certified meat products” shall mean products that are from farms, obtained <br />either directly or through another supplier (restaurant, retailer, etc.), that are certified by at least one of <br />the following certification programs: (a) Animal Welfare Approved; (b) Certified Humane; and/or (c) <br />Global Animal Partnership, Steps 2 and above.
