Civil Rights Compliance
As a condition for receiving funding from the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), recipients must comply
with applicable federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Age Discrimination
Act of 1975, and the Justice Department's regulation for the Equal Treatment of Faith -Based
Organizations. Depending on the funding source, a recipient must also comply with the
nondiscrimination provisions within the applicable program statutes, which may Include the Omnibus
Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 19680 the Victims of Crime Act, or the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act. Collectively, these federal laws prohibit a recipient of OJP funding from
discriminating either in employment (subject to the exemption for certain faith -based organizations
discussed below; see "Funding to Faith -based Organizations") or In the delivery of services or benefits
on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, or disability, in addition, OJP recipients may not
discriminate on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits. For more information on these
laws, please click here.
Compliance with Title VI of the Civil R(ghts Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients from discriminating
on the basis of national origin in the delivery of services or benefits, entails taking reasonable steps to
ensure that persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access to funded programs
or activities. An LEP person is one whose first language is not English and who has a limited ability to
read, write, speak, or understand English. To assist recipients in meeting their obligation to serve LEP
persons, the Justice Department has published a guidance document, which is available at
www.IQfzg.QY. The OJP encourages applicants and recipients to include within their program budgets
the costs for providing interpretation and translation services to eligible LEP service populations.
For technical assistance on complying with the civil rights laws linked to the receipt of federal financial
assistance from OJP, please contact the Office for Civil Rig)�,q by telephone at (202) 30T-0690, by

Funding to Faith -Based Organizations
in 2002, Executive Order 13279 was issued and in 2004, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued the
regulation, Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations, 28 C.F.R. Part 38. In general, the
Executive Order and re ulauou require funding organizations to treat faith -based organizations (FBOs)
the same as any other applicant or recipient of DOJ funding, neither favoring nor discriminating against
FBOs in making and administering grant awards, and require that FBOs be allowed to retain ,heir

independence, autonomy, expression, and religious character when competing for DOJ financial
assistance used to support social service programs and participating in the social service programs
supported with DOJ financial assistance.
The Executive Order and regulation also prohibit recipient FBOs from using Justice Department funding
to engage in inherently religious activities, such as proselytizing, scripture study, or worship, Funded
FBOs may, of course, engage in inherently religious activities; however, these activities rnust be
separate in time or location from the federally asslsted program. Moreover, funded FBOs must not
compel program beneficiaries to participate in inherently religious activities. Funded falth-based
organizations must also not discriminate on the basis of religion in the delivery of services or benefits.
Some program statutes, including the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, the
Victims of Crime Act, and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, contain express
nondiscrimination provisions that prohibit all reclplents of funding under these statutes from
discriminating on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the
Justice Department has concluded that the Religious Freedom Restoratbn Act (RFRA) is reasonably
construed, on a case•by-case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit FBOs applying for
funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering
religion when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids
considering of religion in employment decisions by grantees.
If the statute that authorizes a DOJ funding program generally forbids consideration of religion In
employment decisions by grantees, an FBO may receive DOJ funds and continue to consider religion
when hiring staff if it meets the following criteria,
1. The FBO demonstrates that its program for which it seeks federal religion; funding is an exercise of
2. The FBO demonstrates that requiring it to either forgo its religious preference in the federal funding would substantially burden its exercise of religion; and hiring or forgo
3. The funding entity is unable to demonstrate that applying the nondiscrlminaton provision to this
FBO would both further a compelling government interest and be the least restrictive means of
furthering this interest.
The OJP and state administering agencies will grant exemptions to the prohibition against hiring
discrimination on the basis of religion in the program statutes on a case -by -case basis to FBOs that
certify to the following, unless there is good reason to question its truthfulness:
1. The FBO will offer all federally -funded services to all qualified benetic(aries without regard for
the religious or non-retigbus beliefs of those viduals; and
2. Any activities of the FBO that contain inherently religious content will be kept separate in time or
location from any services supported by direct federal funding, and if provided under such
conditions, will be offered only on a voluntary basis; and
3, The FBO is a religious organization that sincerely believes that providing the services in
question is an expression of its religious beliefs; that employing individuals of particular religict s
belief is important to its religious exercise; and that having to abandon its religious hiring
practice to receive federal funding would substantially burden its religious exercise.
FBOs that are seeking federal financial assistance under the Safe Streets Act, VOCA, and JJDPA as
welt as an exemption to their prohibition against religious discrimination in hiring, must complete and
retain an or/g/nal, signed document for their records (see sam"I), certifying to the Three provisions
set forth above, and then, must work with OJP to attach it to the grant f1/e after receipt o/ an
award. For more information, please consult OJp's office for_Cj�vll_Rights.
