Barkai Foundation Inc.

Barkai Foundation Inc., doing business as Barkai Yeshivah, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, that operates as a sub-recipient on federal education and security grants rather than as a prime contractor or prime grantee. The organization has received four sub-awards totaling $1 million in obligated federal funding across the past two years, all routed through the New York State Education Department and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.

Barkai Yeshivah's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. Two sub-awards under the CNP Block Consolidated program (October 2025) and two under the Non-Profit Security Grant Program (September 2023 and August 2025) constitute the organization's entire recent federal grant activity. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounted for half of the organization's sub-awards by count. The organization holds no prime contract vehicles, prime grant awards, or direct federal contracting relationships; all federal funding flows through state-administered pass-through grants.

Activity is minimal and episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2023, then a three-award cluster in mid-2025 — with no evidence of recurring or growing federal engagement. The organization does not operate under federal contracting set-asides, does not bid competitively against federal contractors, and does not maintain an active footprint on GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs. Barkai Yeshivah's federal role is limited to administering sub-grant funds for child nutrition and nonprofit facility security within New York State's education ecosystem, with no capability footprint in federal contracting, IT services, or managed government operations.
