Boys & Girls Clubs Of West Central Wisconsin, Inc.

Boys & Girls Clubs Of West Central Wisconsin, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Tomah, Wisconsin, operates as a sub-recipient on federal nutrition and youth mentoring grants. The organization receives 97% of its recent federal funding through sub-awards rather than prime grants, with total dollars obligated across all awards of $2.8 million over the past five years.

The organization's federal footprint splits between two distinct program categories. The larger share flows through the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, which accounts for 36 sub-awards centered on the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). These sub-awards flow from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as the prime grantee, with monthly or quarterly disbursements throughout 2024, 2025, and into 2026. The second major customer is the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which funds 21 sub-awards for mentoring programs. These mentoring sub-awards are distributed through Boys & Girls Clubs Of America as the prime recipient, with clusters of four to five sub-awards awarded in March 2022, March 2023, March 2024, and March 2025, indicating an annual renewal cycle. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development serves as the prime on two Economic Development Initiative Community Project Funding grants awarded to the organization as a prime recipient in February 2023 and August 2024, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2030 and 2032 respectively. A single sub-award from the Department of Education for American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief funding (CFDA 84.425U) was received in March 2023.

Activity has accelerated significantly over the past five years, from four awards in 2022 to a peak of 26 awards in 2025, with six awards recorded through April 2026. The organization's program portfolio centers on afterschool nutrition support and youth mentoring services delivered to school-aged populations in west-central Wisconsin, funded through pass-through grants from state education and federal youth-justice agencies. The positioning as a sub-recipient across nutrition and mentoring programs creates dependency on annual renewal cycles from both the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (for NSLP and CACFP funding) and Boys & Girls Clubs Of America (for mentoring program funding), with no direct federal contract or prime-grant contracting history.
