• Organizations must serve the community at large and must be open to the general public, without bias, prejudice or discrimination regarding participation. Liberty Mutual Insurance reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to exclude any youth sport organization deemed to be private and/or contrary to the goals of the Responsible Sports program. All grants applications are subject to verification.
• Past recipients of a Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports Community Grant will not be eligible for additional Community Grants.
• While registration is available throughout the year, certifications must be completed within the defined promotional periods of Spring (March 1 to May 31) or Fall (September 1 to November 30.) Only certifications completed and credited during the period count towards the Community Grant; there are no ‘roll-over’ credits.
• Winning organizations are those organizations who amass the greatest number of valid certifications to be in the top of their division.

- School/educational organizations (school athletic programs) compete for one of five (5) $2,500 grants
• Liberty Mutual Insurance reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to award any or all Grants if organizations are deemed to be ineligible. In addition, Liberty Mutual Insurance reserves the right to discontinue this program at any time without prior notification.
• Individuals must be 18 years or older to participate in the Community Grant. No students or youth sports participants may participate by taking a quiz or crediting an organization. Liberty Mutual Insurance , at its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to exclude any credits deemed to be from individuals under 18.
• Individuals participating must be a legal resident of one of the 50 states of the United States or the District of Columbia and must be residing in the United States at the time of the award. State selection is required at the time of registration and is subject to verification.

• Individuals completing certification and crediting to a youth sports organization must verify their email address before their credit will be counted.
• Individuals may not complete multiple quizzes, nor may they credit multiple organizations. Liberty Mutual Insurance, at its sole and absolute discretion, will disqualify any certifications deemed to be repetitive or duplicative.
• Each individual certification must represent a real individual. Individuals completing certification and crediting may not use a disposable or temporary email address.
• Organizations and their directors may not complete certification on behalf of their members or utilize an individuals’ email address from a Roster. Should an organization engage in such activity, they will be immediately disqualified, regardless of the number of certifications in question or the number of total certifications accrued.
• Liberty Mutual Insurance strictly enforces a no gaming policy. Liberty Mutual Insurance reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to exclude any organization who is deemed to have certifications that represent gaming of any kind. This includes disposable email addresses, multiple entries, or false email addresses. Should gaming be found within an organization’s credited certifications, the organization will be immediately removed from the program and not be allowed to participate in the current Grant period. All decisions are at Liberty Mutual Insurance’s sole and absolute discretion and are not subject to review by the organization or any individual.
• Individuals who participate in the program acknowledge that they will receive information from Liberty Mutual Insurance regarding the Community Grant program as well as other Responsible Sports content and information about Liberty Mutual Insurance’s products and services.
• Grant monies must be used for expenses related to the winning youth sports organizations. Checks will be made out to the winning organization and do require organizations to file a W9 with Liberty Mutual Insurance.
• By participating in the program, both organizations and individuals agree to verification of all information provided during registration and certification as well as any and all selection documentation.
• Organization recipients agree that their names, likeness and personal statements may be used in winner announcements and in Liberty Mutual Insurance press releases and other promotional materials.
