Note to all nonprofit and for profit organizations and agencies that use District facilities:

Programs operated by nonprofit and for profit organizations and agencies that use District facilities under a License Agreement must comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as well as all other federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination against individuals based on the following protected categories: sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition); ethnicity (such as race, color, national origin, and ancestry); religion (including religious accommodation); disability (mental or physical disability or reasonable accommodation); age; marital status; or any other basis protected by federal, state, local law, ordinance, or regulation.
