award; and (8) alternative funding
sources available to the organization,
including amounts received from other
grants and contributors and the
endowment and resources of the
institution sponsoring the organization.
For programs where all or the
majority of cases will be placed with
volunteers, we will also consider the
following: (1) the quality of the
representatives (attorneys, certified
public accountants, or enrolled agents
who have agreed to accept taxpayer
referrals from an LITC and provide
representation or consultation services
free of charge); and (2) the ability of the
organization to monitor referrals and
ensure that the pro bono representatives
are handling the cases properly,
including taking timely case actions and
ensuring services are offered for free or
a nominal fee.
Applications and requests for
continued funding that pass the
eligibility screening process will then be
subject to technical review. An
organization submitting a request for
continued funding for the second or
third year of a multi-year grant will be
required to submit an abbreviated Noncompeting Continuation Request and
will be subject to a streamlined
screening process. Details regarding the
scoring process can be found in
Publication 3319. The final funding
decisions are made by the National
Taxpayer Advocate. The costs of
preparing and applying are the
responsibility of each applicant.

decisions have been made.
