LSC Announces 2026-2027 Grant Subgrant Application Submission Dates

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice of application dates and format for applications for approval to ( printed page 19206) make 2026 mid-year and 2027 Basic Field Grant fund subgrants.

SUMMARY:

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is the national organization charged with administering Federal funds provided for civil legal services to low-income people. LSC hereby announces the submission dates for applications to make 2026 mid-year and 2027 Basic Field Grant fund subgrants. LSC also provides information about where applicants may locate subgrant application questions and directions for providing the information required to apply for a subgrant.

DATES:

See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for application dates.

ADDRESSES:

Legal Services Corporation—Office of Compliance and Enforcement, 1825 I Street NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20006-5475.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Megan Lacchini, Office of Compliance and Enforcement at lacchinim@lsc.gov or (202) 295-1506 or visit the LSC website at http://www.lsc.gov/​grants-grantee-resources/​grantee-guidance/​how-apply-subgrant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under 45 CFR part 1627, LSC must publish, on an annual basis, “notice of the requirements concerning the format and contents of the application annually in the Federal Register and on LSC's website.” 45 CFR 1627.4(b). This Notice and the publication of the Subgrant Application on LSC's website satisfy § 1627.4(b)'s notice requirement for the Basic Field Grant program. Only current or prospective recipients of LSC Basic Field Grants may apply for approval to subgrant these funds.

Applications for approval to make 2026 mid-year Basic Field Grant fund subgrants are available. Applications to make calendar year 2027 Basic Field Grant fund subgrants will be available on or around April 13, 2026. An applicant must apply to make a mid-year subgrant of LSC Basic Field Grant funds through GrantEase at least 45 days before the subgrant's proposed effective date. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(2). An applicant must apply to make calendar year subgrants of 2027 Basic Field Grant funds through GrantEase in conjunction with its application(s) for 2027 Basic Field Grant funding. 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(1). The deadline for 2027 Basic Field Grant funding application submissions is June 1, 2026.

All applicants must provide answers to the application questions in GrantEase and upload the following documents:

• A draft subgrant agreement (with the required terms provided in LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template); and

• A subgrant budget (using LSC's Subgrant Budget Template).
  Applicants seeking to subgrant to a new subrecipient that is not a current LSC grantee, or to renew a subgrant with an organization that is not a current LSC grantee in a year in which the applicant is required to submit a full funding application, must also upload:

• The subrecipient's accounting manual;

• The subrecipient's most recent audited financial statements;

• The subrecipient's current cost allocation policy (if not in the accounting manual); and

• The recipient's 45 CFR part 1627 Policy (required under 45 CFR 1627.7).
  A list of subgrant application questions, the Subgrant Agreement Template, and the Subgrant Budget Template are available on LSC's website at http://www.lsc.gov/​grants-grantee-resources/​grantee-guidance/​how-apply-subgrant.

LSC encourages applicants to use LSC's Subgrant Agreement Template as a model subgrant agreement. If the applicant does not use LSC's Template, the proposed agreement must include, at a minimum, the substance of the provisions of the Template.

Once submitted, LSC will evaluate the application and provide applicants with instructions on any needed modifications to the submitted documents or Draft Agreement provided with the application. The applicant must then upload a final and signed subgrant agreement through GrantEase by the date requested.

As required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(3), LSC will inform applicants of its decision to disapprove or approve an application for a 2026 mid-year subgrant no later than the subgrant's proposed effective date. As required by 45 CFR 1627.4(b)(1)(ii), LSC will inform applicants of its decision to disapprove or approve a 2027 calendar-year subgrant no later than the date LSC informs applicants of LSC's 2027 Basic Field Grant funding decisions.
