The IRS may award grants to qualifying organizations to fund one-year, two-year or three-year project periods. Grant funds may be awarded for start-up expenditures incurred by new clinics during the grant cycle. The 2011 Grant Application Package and Guidelines, Publication 3319 (Rev. 5–2010), outlines requirements for the operation of a qualifying LITC program and provides instructions on how to apply for a grant. The costs of preparing and submitting an application are the responsibility of each applicant.
