Do the requirements of Title VI apply only to recipients of large amounts of federal aid?

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Its reach extends beyond just those recipients of significant federal funding; it applies to any program or activity that receives federal aid, regardless of the amount. This means even small amounts of federal assistance trigger compliance with Title VI requirements. The law encompasses a wide range of entities, including schools, hospitals, and other organizations that receive federal funds, ensuring that all individuals have equal access and are treated without discrimination. Therefore, stating that Title VI applies only to recipients of large amounts of federal aid is inaccurate.
