Nondiscrimination Policy

NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, age, or sex in the administration of its programs or activities, whether carried out by KTB directly, through a contractor, or any other entity with whom KTB arranges to carry out its programs, services, or activities. KTB does not intimidate or retaliate against any individual or group because they have exercised their rights under federal nondiscrimination laws.

KTB collects demographic information for programs we directly manage, such as the Young Texan Ambassadors. For programs delivered by our network of affiliates, we are working to strengthen support and encourage consistent collection of participant demographic data. This information is maintained securely and may be shared with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) upon request to demonstrate compliance with federal nondiscrimination requirements.

KTB takes reasonable steps to ensure that individuals with disabilities and those with limited English proficiency have meaningful access and equal opportunity to participate in our services, programs, and activities. Vital information will be provided in alternative formats or languages other than English, where appropriate.

Civil Rights Coordinator

The Executive Director is designated as KTB’s Civil Rights Coordinator and is responsible for compliance efforts and receipt of inquiries concerning nondiscrimination requirements under 40 C.F.R. Parts 5 and 7 and related statutes.
