| Why Is It Necessary to Determine If There is Federal Assistance |
| |
In order to
determine whether Title VI, Title IX, and other grant related nondiscirmination statutes
apply to the programs or activities of an entity, it must be determined whether the
entity is a recipient of federal financial assistance. It is also necessary to
determine which federal agencies fund an entity believed to be discriminating to determine
which federal agency or agencies complaints should be sent to. |

The
Agency-Recipient Overlap chart below lists the 30 federal agencies that provide federal
financial assistance and the types of entities that they fund. (Acronyms are written
out in the Agency Key following the chart). Federal agencies can use the chart to
coordinate compliance efforts when entities that they fund (i.e., recipients) are also
funded by another federal agency. Community organizations and individuals who are
beneficiaries of assistance can use the chart to determine where complaints of
discrimination can be filed. Agency-Recipient

In addition, recipients must report grants received from the
federal government pursuant to the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular 133. This data
base is searchable by entity and yields information about specific grants and grant
amounts received, among other things. This data base can be accessed by going to:
