45 C.F.R. Subpart J—Non-Stipended Foster Grandparents
Title 45 - Public Welfare
Over-income persons, age 60 or over, may be enrolled in FGP projects as non-stipended volunteers in communities where there is no RSVP project or where agreement is reached with the RSVP project that allows for the enrollment of non-stipended volunteers in the FGP project. Non-stipended Foster Grandparents serve under the following conditions: (a) They must not displace or prevent eligible low-income individuals from becoming Foster Grandparents. (b) No special privilege or status is granted or created among Foster Grandparents, stipended or non-stipended, and equal treatment is required. (c) Training, supervision, and other support services and cost reimbursements, other than the stipend, are available equally to all Foster Grandparents. (d) All regulations and requirements applicable to the program, with the exception listed in paragraph (f) of this section, apply to all Foster Grandparents. (e) Non-stipended Foster Grandparents may be placed in separate volunteer stations where warranted. (f) Non-stipended Foster Grandparents will be encouraged but not required to serve an average of 20 hours per week and nine months per year. Foster Grandparents will maintain a close person-to-person relationship with their assigned children on a regular basis. (g) Non-stipended Foster Grandparents may contribute the costs they incur in connection with their participation in the program. Such contributions are not counted as part of the required non-federal share of the grant but may be reflected in the budget column for excess non-federal resources. Enrollment of non-stipended Foster Grandparents is not a factor in the award of new or continuation grants. Federally appropriated funds for FGP shall not be used to pay any cost, including any administrative cost, incurred in implementing the regulations in this part for non-stipended Foster Grandparents.
