Private School – Capital Expenses

The Department of Education administered the Private School Capital Expenses program (CFDA 84.216) with a most recent grant award on July 2, 2001. This program has not disbursed awards in over 25 years and is effectively inactive for funding purposes. No recent grant opportunities are open under this listing.

The program funds capital expenses for private schools through Formula Grants. The 52 awards from 2001 distributed $6 million in federal dollars obligated, with individual award sizes ranging from $91 to $1,053,529. Representative awards included Formula Grant S216A010005 ($1,053,529), Formula Grant S216A010038 ($718,659), and Formula Grant S216A010032 ($911,645). The program operated exclusively as Formula Grants, with all 52 awards in the portfolio issued through this assistance type.

The Department of Education was the sole funding agency, administering 100 percent of awards and federal dollars. Combined federal obligated funding across the program totaled $6 million. The award completion dates were uniformly set to September 30, 2002, indicating a single funding cycle in July 2001.

Given the absence of grant disbursements or posted opportunities for 25 years, this program should be treated as dormant. Organizations interested in federal capital support for private school infrastructure should pursue active alternatives rather than await reopening of this listing.
