Minnesota’s Department of Health<\/a> (MDH) voluntarily suspended a grant program that was specifically based on race after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) initiated a Civil Rights Act compliance review, the DOJ said in a Tuesday announcement.<\/p>\n

The Capacity Strengthening Initiative, according to the DOJ, was a grant program which “limited eligible grantees to organizations that worked with ‘people of color<\/a>,’ provided ‘strategic consideration’ and ‘gave priority’ to proposals from organizations ‘led by populations of color.'”\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also, the DOJ alleged, prioritized allocating a higher proportion of grants to “Black or African American” and “nonwhite Latino(a)” communities.<\/p>\n

A 2023 summary of the Capacity Strengthening Grant from the third party Grant Portal<\/a> described it as being designed “To support and strengthen the capacity of metro and rural community-based organizations and faith-based organizations serving people of color, American Indians, LGBTQIA+, and people living with disabilities.”<\/p>\n

The strict race-based language, Assistant Attorney General<\/a> Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division explained, was a violation of the Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n

“Recipients of federal dollars cannot decide who benefits from those funds on the basis of race, color, or national origin,” Dhillon said in a DOJ statement. “The Department appreciates that the State of Minnesota has recognized this foundational principle and has repealed the statute governing the program.”<\/p>\n

MDH withdrew the grant program after the DOJ initiated a review based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the DOJ statement claimed. Title VI prohibits any recipient of Federal financial assistance<\/a> – a group that includes MDH – from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.<\/p>\n
