We support the legacy of Miss Laney by educating and exposing the children and adults of the CSRA,
surrounding areas and beyond to the visual and performing arts, history, literature, leadership and
improvea' education skills.
The mus<~um is located in the inner city area named the Laney-Walker Historic District in honor of
Miss Lucy Craft Laney and Charles T. Walker, the founder of Tabernacle Baptist Church. The
Museum has received many awards for the work done to restore the Laney home, including a
Historic Augusta Logo Award and a Resolution from the General Assembly. The museum is open to
all people with an emphasis on providing services to children who are economically, socially, and
culturally deprived. The museum has two permanent collections, showcases rotating exhibits every
four to sr" weeks, has a Computer Assisted Art and History Program for children between the ages of
6 and 12 and a youth leadership program for children between the ages of 13 and 18. The museum
conducts history, literature and art lectures, has a senior program and presents programs to the
commun5ty that will further enhance appreciation for the visual and performing arts.
The museum has a projected budget of $221,000 for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. Management cost is
projected at about twenty-five percent of the total budget. We have a full-time Director, a full-time

1
, ,
~
Augusta has the power to perform such services under the Constitution
of the State of Georgia, Article 9, Section 2, Paragraph 3, and the services are
authorized by one or more of the following powers set forth in said Constitution
or by general law including but not limited to the following:

o Air quality control
3. Organization further agrees to expend the Funds for the said
purposes and to account for such Funds in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
2
4. The Organization shall hold harmless and indemnify Augusta, its
officers I elected officials, agents, employees, and representatives, from and
against any and all claims resulting from or arising out of the appropriation
provided according to this Agreement, including, without limitation, damage
claims =or injury to persons or property. The Organization expressly
acknowledges that, by appropriating the Funds outlined in this Agreement, Augusta
has not assumed or undertaken any legal duties as to the Organization or others.
The Organization agrees to make no claims or demands against Augusta, its
officers, elected officials, agents, employees and/or representatives, for any
damages that may result from or arise out of the appropriation of Funds pursuant
to this Agreement, even if such claims or demands are made against the
Organization.
5. Upon request, the Organization agrees to provide Augusta with
any information Augusta deems necessary to fulfill its obligations under the
Grant Agreement with the State of Georgia and further agrees to give Augusta the
right to audit all records related to this Agreement, and the Organization's
perform2nce thereunder.
6. The Organization acknowledges that under the Open Meetings Law
for the State of Georgia (O.C.G.A. S; 50-14-1, et seq.) if the Organization
receives as a direct allocation tax funds which constitute more than 33 1/3% of
its funds from all sources, it may be required to comply with the Open Meetings
Law. Further the Organization acknowledges that all records relating to this
Agreement and the services to be provided under the Grant may be a public record
subject to Georgia's Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. S; 50-18-70, et seq.).
Organization shall cooperate fully in responding to such request and making all
records, not exempt, available for inspection and copying as provided by law.
7. Organization certifies that it is a tax exempt entity under S;
3
. ,
sOl(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
8. Organization acknowledges that one of the constraints imposed
by the Georgia Constitution on the implementation of grants through private
parties is the prohibition against sectarian aid. The Constitution provides in
Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 7: "No money shall ever be taken from the public
treasury, directly or indirectly, in aid of any church, sect, cult, or religious
denominat ion or of any sectarian institution." This "Sectarian Aid" clause
prohibits the performance of a public function through a contract for services
by a religious organization, even if the program is conducted neutrally, without
reference to such beliefs and practices. [The words of this prohibition have
their ordinary meanings. In Bennett v. City of LaGrange, 153 Ga. 428(1922), the
Supreme Court indicated that "religious" connotes faith in God, 153 Ga. at 433,
or, as the dictionary puts it, belief in the supernatural as creator and governor
of the universe. The American Heritage Dictionary Second College Edition 1044
(1982). "The term 'church' is one of very comprehensive signification, and
imports an organization for religious purposes, for the public worship of God."
153 Ga. at 433. "Sect", "cult" and "denomination" also relate to a "distinct
organization," with "a connon system of faith," "holding sentiments or doctrines"
which di~;tinguish it. "Institution" may have a similar meaning related to
"organization," but may also mean a "custom, practice, relationship, or
behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a connunity or society." The
American Heritage Dictionary Second College Edition 666 (1982). In other words
the grant recipients may not contract for services with any entity organized out
of belie:: in God or other supernatural beings. It is a "comprehensive
signification." 153 Ga. at 433.J Augusta may not contract for services with any
entity organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings.
9. Organization certifies that Augusta has made inquiry of
4
Organizat:ion as to whether it is "organized out of belief in God or other
supernatural beings" and Organization hereby certifies to Augusta that it is not
so organized and that it is not a religious organization as defined above.
10. Augusta may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause,
upon five business days written notice to the Organization.
If at the time of
termination, any funds under this Agreement have not been disbursed to the
Organization, said funds shall be retained by the City.
11. In addition to the indemnification provision set forth in
paragraph 4 hereof, Organization agrees that this Agreement shall terminate
should it be determined the Grant from the State to Augusta is in violation of
any law or be declared invalid for any reason, and Organization shall refund or
reimburse to Augusta any monies paid pursuant to this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused these presents to be
executed .oy their proper officers and hereunto set their hands and affixed their
seals, the day and year first above written.

MEMORANDUM
To:
Lucy C. Laney Museum
From:
James B. Wall
Date:
July 26, 2000
The Attorney General issued a Memorandum to Jim Higdon, Commissioner of Community
Affairs, on August 17, 1999 addressing two issues and concerns.
The first concern is for funds for a grant to a local government for the benefit of an apparently
private organization. He concluded that the grants should be authorized only when the local government
recipient makes the funds available to the private entity in the form of a contract for services. In addition,
the contract must show the scope of services and how the scope of services is in aid of a lawful activity
whose benefit to the County is substantial. Please review the scope of services to insure it accurately
states the purpose for which the grant will be utilized.
The second concern was the constitutional prohibition against paying funds to, or contracting
with, a sectarian entity. We have been required to conduct "such factual inquiries as may be reasonably
necessary to enforce" the sectarian aid prohibition. Accordingly, 1 have included a certification that your
organizajon is not "organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings", which is a requirement
for your organization being eligible for the grant funds.
1 have attached two copies of the contract, since we must provide one copy to DCA. The
remaining copy is for the City's records.
Please execute both copies of the contract in order that they may be returned to me. Further, if
you should have any questions concerning either the scope of services or the certification, please call me.

Dear Mayor Young:
The attached contract when executed commits state funds in the amount of $2,500 to Augusta-
Richmond County.
I m:Ist call your attention to two provisions in this contract that based on advice from the Attorney
General deserve your careful attention.
The fIrst deals with Sectarian Aid (Item 12) and relates to the prohibition in the Georgia
Constitution against grants to any church, cult, religious denomination or sectarian institution. Should
this grant fall into that category, I would ask that you consult with your local attorney.
The second deals with grants to private entities and is covered in Exhibit A of this contact. Should
this grant fall into that category, I again urge that you or your attorney carefully review this exhibit.
If, after reviewing the agreement, you wish to proceed please execute it by signing and returning
the two copies to me. I will then sign for the Department and return a copy to you along with a check
representing the fIrst payment.
The Department of Community Affairs is pleased to assist you and the General Assembly in the

12. Sectarian Aid. (a). One of the constraints imposed by the Georgia Constitution on the
implementation of grants through private parties is the prohibition against sectarian aid. In the words
of the Constitution, "No money shall ever be taken from the public treasury, directly or indirectly, in
aid of any church, sect, cult, or religious denomination or of any sectarian institution." Ga. Const.,
Art. I, Sec. C, Par. VII.
(b). The "Sectarian Aid" clause prohibits the performance of a public function through a contract for
services by a religious organization. Bennett v. City of LaGrange, 153 Ga. 428 (1922) (city may not
engage Salvation Army to conduct welfare program). This is true even if the program is conducted
neutrally, without reference to such beliefs and practices. 1988 Op. Att'y Gen. Att'y Gen. No. U88-6.
(c). The words of this prohibition have their ordinary meanings. In Bennett. the Supreme Court
indicated that "religious" connotes faith in God, 153 Ga. at 433, or, as the dictionary puts it, belief in
the supema-:ural as creator and governor of the universe. The American Heritage Dictionary Second
College Edition 1044 (1982). "The term 'church' is one of very comprehensive signification, and
imports an organization for religious purposes, for the public worship of God." 153 Ga. at 433.
"Sect", "cult" and "denomination" also relate to "a distinct organization," with "a common system of
faith," "holding sentiments or doctrines" which distinguish it. "Institution" may have a similar
meaning related to "organization," but may also mean a "custom, practice, relationship, or behavioral
pattern of importance in the life of a community or society." The American Heritage Dictionary Second
College Edition 666 (1982). In other words the grant recipients may not contract for services with any
entity organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings. It is a "comprehensive
signification." 153 Ga. at 433.
(d). Without limiting any other provision of this grant agreement, it is the responsibility of the Grant
Recipient to comply with this prohibition and to conduct such factual inquiries as may be reasonably
necessary to enforce it, and the Recipient's acceptance of the grant constitutes a promise to do so. No
act or failure to act by DCA in regard to the submission will waive the requirement of compliance or
prevent the State from asserting noncompliance.
13. Entire Mreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among and
between the parties. There are no representations, oral or otherwise, other than those expressly set
forth herein. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless both parties
have agreed to said modification in writing.

EXHIBIT A
The Local Assistance Grant shall be used by Augusta/Richmond County to contract for services with
the Lucy C. Laney Museum in Augusta/Richmond County.
. If the preceding statement of purpose designates a private program or entity for
accomplishing its purpose, the purpose must be accomplished through a contract for
services by the named private entity, or the private entity that conducts the named
program. If the appropriation specifies not only an implementing entity but also a use of
funds by the entity, such as improvement of a facility, Grant Recipient must impose that
use as a condition in the contract for services. The services must provide the Grant
Recipient with a substantial benefit.
. To illustrate, suppose the appropriation is for a grant for renovating the facility of an
historical society. An appropriate implementation might be a contract for services in which
the historical society promises that its historical displays will be open to the public during
stated hours for a stated term. Or a grant for cataloging the society's papers might be
implemented by a society promise to conduct public lectures at the Grant Recipient's own
historical sites. These are illustrations only.
· It is a responsibility of Grant Recipient to see that its undertaking is lawful and the return
is subst<mtial. No act or failure to act by DCA will waive the requirement of compliance or
prevent the State from asserting noncompliance.

Ind~pendent Accountant's ReDort
We have examined management's assertion included in the accompanying State of Georgia

[date] with the requirement to use grant proceeds solely for the purpose or purposes for which
the grant was made for:each of the following grant award(s):
[Individually identify each grant award of governor's emergency funds and/or special
project appropriation.]
Management is reSP9nsible for [name of government]'s compliance with this requirement. Our
respons:ibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the [name of
government]'s compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
