About the company
Bellingham School District 501, a U.S. local government entity and public school district based in Bellingham, Washington, receives federal formula grants and project grants as a recipient and as a sub-recipient flowing through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding for K–12 education and emergency preparedness work.
The district operates as a grant recipient (9% of awards) and as a sub-recipient (91% of awards), with the overwhelming majority of recent awards flowing through pass-through mechanisms from the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Direct prime grants include Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (two awards, fiscal years 2025–2026 and 2026–2027, funded by the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education) and a Department of Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air and Radiation project grant awarded March 1, 2024, with ultimate completion extended to March 31, 2026. That EPA grant funds community wildfire smoke preparedness across the district's 28 facilities, including smoke readiness planning, indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, HVAC upgrades and weatherization, staff training, and development of a communications plan to protect students and staff during Western Washington's July–October wildfire season.
Federal funding concentration centers on K–12 education programs. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 98% of all awards: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (24 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (17 awards), the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (9 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (2 awards), and the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (2 awards). Sub-awards through the Superintendent of Public Instruction include IDEA Part B special education funding (multiple awards, fiscal years 2023–2026), Title I, Part A elementary and secondary education, Title IIA Supporting Effective Instruction, Title III English Language Acquisition, McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth, child nutrition program reimbursement and administrative support (recurring awards spanning 2023–2026), the Stronger Connections Grant Program, and the Safety Net program for high-need individuals. The district also received FEMA emergency protective measures funding in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent activity shows 55 total awards across the source data, with combined obligated dollars of $31.6 million. Awards per year peaked at 21 in 2024, with 12 awards in 2025 and 3 most recent awards as of September 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's federal posture is education-first, with no contracting exposure and no IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in its footprint.
