The Standard Form 424B is a certification document for organizations seeking federal grant funding for non-construction programs. By signing this form, the authorized official confirms the applicant's legal authority, financial capability, and institutional readiness to carry out the proposed project. This form is a standard component of most federal grant applications submitted through Grants.gov.
The 424B covers a broad set of federal compliance requirements. Key areas include nondiscrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and age. Environmental standards, labor regulations, and historic preservation requirements are also addressed. Applicants must certify proper accounting systems and safeguards against conflicts of interest. Drug-free workplace standards and flood insurance requirements may apply depending on the grant program.
Organizations typically submit the 424B alongside the SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance and the SF-424A Budget Information form. For programs involving construction activities, a separate assurances form applies. Review the Application for Financial Assistance to identify all supporting documents required for your specific grant program.
