Promoting Diverse and Inclusive Federal Programs
OFN follows the standards and procedures provided in 40 CFR Part 5 (§5.1350), 40 CFR Part 7 (§7.120), and all associated definitions and guidance and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, sex, age, and retaliation in the programs, services, and activities.
To report a grievance about an alleged violation of 40 C.F.R. Parts 5 and 7, please contact OFN’s Human Resources department by phone at 202.869.1261 or by email at [email protected] for prompt and fair resolution of complaints. See OFN’s full grievance procedure here.
Specifically, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.
The U.S. Treasury Department implements Title VI through regulations set forth in 31 C.F.R., Part 22 and conducts investigations of civil rights complaints filed against recipients of financial assistance under any of its programs and conducts pre- and post-award compliance reviews.
Treasury can defer action on an application for federal financial assistance, issue a cautionary letter, or deny funding for applicants who are not in compliance with Title VI and other relevant civil rights laws.
To file a complaint related to a Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund program, please contact the Department of the Treasury Office of Civil Rights and Equal Employment Opportunity or send an email to [email protected].
