Boys & Girls Club Of Livingston County

Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County, doing business as Boys & Girls Club, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Pontiac, Illinois that receives federal grant funding to deliver youth mentoring, educational programming, and nutrition services to rural communities in Livingston County; the organization operates as a grant recipient (5% of recent awards as prime recipient) and as a sub-recipient under pass-through grants from state and national intermediaries (95% of recent awards). The organization holds designations as minority-owned, woman-owned, Native American–owned, and American Indian–owned.

Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County receives grant funding through two primary federal sources. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded the organization $500,000 under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) on December 19, 2024, with ultimate completion on December 19, 2026, and an additional $1.0 million on March 26, 2026, with completion on March 26, 2028. Both grants fund community facility improvements in Fairbury, Illinois that enable delivery of youth mentoring, education, and nutrition services to rural populations. The organization's grant footprint consists almost entirely of sub-recipient funding flowing through pass-through grantees. The top intermediary is Boys & Girls Clubs of America, through which the organization has received multiple mentoring-focused sub-awards beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2025 (at least eight sub-awards visible in the source). The Illinois Department of Human Services has passed through AmeriCorps State and National funding to the organization beginning in 2023, with at least ten AmeriCorps sub-awards visible across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Illinois State Board of Education has passed through Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) funding for meal service to low-income children during summer months, with at least two SFSP sub-awards in 2024, and one sub-award for core instruction and enrichment in 2026.

The organization's federal funding activity was heaviest in 2023 (19 awards) and has declined to 2 awards in 2026 to date. The top five federal customers by award count account for 100% of recent grants: the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (20 awards), the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management (17 awards), the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (2 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (2 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (1 award). Combined dollars obligated across all 42 federal awards total $5.6 million. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the organization.
