There is established in the general fund of the Treasury a separate account which shall be known as the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund . Amounts deposited into the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund shall remain available until expended to the Secretary to carry out the purposes of this Act in accordance with subsection (d). There are authorized to be appropriated to the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund, $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2020 and each of the 4 succeeding fiscal years.

In furtherance of the purposes of this Act, the Secretary is authorized to accept donations of funds and in-kind contributions. Any funds donated under this subsection, and any proceeds from the sales of other property received as gifts or bequests pursuant to this subsection, shall be deposited in the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund. A donation may not be accepted under subsection

(b)in exchange for a commitment to the donor on the part of the Secretary or which attaches conditions inconsistent with applicable laws and regulations or that is conditioned upon or will require the expenditure of appropriated funds that are not available to the Secretary, or which compromises a criminal or civil position of the United States or any of its departments or agencies or the administrative authority of any agency of the United States. The Secretary shall ensure that each donation is subject to an agreement that contains provisions setting forth the criteria to be used in determining whether the acceptance of a donation is prohibited because the donation would reflect unfavorably upon the ability of the Department, or any official or employee of the Department, to carry out its responsibilities or official duties in a fair and objective manner, or would compromise the integrity or the appearance of the integrity of its programs or any official or employee involved in those programs. The Secretary is authorized to use funds from the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund— to award grants to eligible entities to carry out Holocaust education programs; to conduct periodic regional workshops, in partnership with Holocaust education centers when and where appropriate, to provide teachers with technical assistance on how to structure curricula to incorporate Holocaust education in a manner that satisfies State education standards, as described in section 1111(a) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1111(a) ), and standards set by local educational agencies; to cover administrative costs associated with fundraising authorized under this Act; and to cover administrative costs associated with administering the grants and creating and maintaining the online Holocaust education repository of resources, defined in section 5. At least 90 percent of funds expended from the Holocaust Education Assistance Program Fund shall be expended to award grants to eligible entities to carry out proposed Holocaust education programs. The Secretary may award a grant under this Act only to an eligible entity that has submitted an application to the Secretary at such time, in such manner, and based on such competitive criteria as the Secretary may require.
