Terms of Service
Effective date: October 5, 2026
The short version
Our website gives general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Funders make their own decisions, so we cannot promise an award. Contacting us does not make you a client. A signed written agreement does, and it controls over these terms.
Agreement to these terms
These terms apply to your use of civicandmain.com, including the Grant Finder and the Briefing Room. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
Who we are
The site is operated by Civic and Main, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company based in Linton, Indiana. Unique Entity ID (UEI): CRHUDMDQ5948.
General information, not advice
Content on this site, including Grant Finder results and Briefing Room slides, is general information to help you plan. It is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, engineering, or other professional advice, and it may not fit your situation. Civic and Main is not a law firm, an accounting firm, a registered investment adviser, a broker, or a lender.
Laws, programs, deadlines, and funding amounts change. Confirm details with the official source, and talk with your attorney, accountant, or other licensed professional before you act.
No guarantee of results
Funders, lenders, and government agencies make their own decisions. We cannot guarantee that any application will be funded, that any loan or financing will be approved, or that any result will happen by a particular date.
The Grant Finder
The Grant Finder shows examples of programs, not every grant or funding source available, and program details change. Confirm eligibility, amounts, deadlines, and requirements with each funder. A program appearing in the Grant Finder does not mean you are eligible or likely to be funded.
Consultations and engagements
Asking for a consultation, having a free consultation, or exchanging messages with us does not create a client relationship or obligate either of us. An engagement begins only when both of us sign a written proposal or agreement, and that agreement controls if it conflicts with these terms.
Service and package descriptions on this site are summaries. The scope, deliverables, schedule, and fee for any engagement are set in writing. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information before an engagement begins.
Public agencies
If you use this site on behalf of a city, town, county, township, or other public agency, nothing in these terms overrides your procurement rules or waives any immunity or protection your agency has under law. Any work for your agency will be done under a written agreement that meets your requirements.
Text messages
If you choose text message as the best way to reach you, or you text us first, you agree to receive text messages from Civic and Main about your request and our work together. These are conversational messages, not marketing. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, reply HELP for help, or call (812) 561-7500. Wireless carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your phone number.
Using the site
Please do not:
- use the site in a way that breaks the law or harms others;
- submit false information, spam, or someone else’s contact information through our form;
- try to get around our security, overload the site, or access our systems without permission; or
- copy the site’s content in bulk with automated tools.
Content and sharing
The text, design, logos, and other content on this site belong to Civic and Main, LLC or are used with permission, and they are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and print pages for your own use.
Public agencies, nonprofits, and community groups may share our Briefing Room slides at no charge for noncommercial, public-interest purposes, such as a council or board meeting, as long as they credit Civic and Main and do not change the content. Any other use requires our written permission. Please do not use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you.
Links to other sites
We link to funders, agencies, and other websites for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
Disclaimer
We work to keep the site accurate and current, but the site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We may change or remove any part of the site at any time, and the site may sometimes be unavailable.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Civic and Main, LLC and its owners and staff are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, funding, or data, arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. Our total liability for any claim related to the site is limited to $100. This section covers use of the website only. Services provided under a signed agreement are governed by that agreement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about these terms or the site will be decided in the state or federal courts serving Greene County, Indiana.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date, and it will apply from that date forward.
