What is the difference between an “Exempt ” and “Non-exempt” tribal grantee?
A Tribe that receives a fiscal year CCDF allocation equal to or greater than $500,000 is considered a “non-exempt” grantee. This distinction means that 1) the Tribe must expend no less than 4 percent of the aggregate CCDF funds in a fiscal year on quality activities; and 2) the Tribe must operate a certificate program that offers parental choice from a full range of providers (i.e., center-based, group home, family and in-home care).
