About the company
Center For Southeast Asians, doing business as Csea, is a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned nonprofit community development corporation headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, that acts as a federal grant recipient delivering culturally specific social services, workforce development, and community preservation programs to Southeast Asian populations. The organization operates as a prime grant recipient on three major awards and as a sub-recipient on thirteen grants from federal agencies, with grant work substantially outnumbering any contracting footprint—Csea has no federal contract vehicles or prime contract awards.
Csea's grant portfolio centers on three core capability areas: crisis intervention and victim services, workforce development and food assistance outreach, and historic preservation. As prime recipient, Csea holds a $500,000 Project Grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.016, Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program), awarded August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2029, funding crisis intervention, safety planning, case management, advocacy, and prevention education workshops for Southeast Asian victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in Providence. Csea is also prime recipient on a $1 million Project Grant from the National Park Service under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929), awarded August 1, 2024, supporting rehabilitation of the Broad Street Synagogue with a required dollar-for-dollar non-federal match. A third prime award, a $250,000 Project Grant from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (CFDA 17.289, Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending), awarded May 1, 2024, funds workforce development and community enhancement initiatives including food assistance, health promotion, and domestic violence support. As sub-recipient, Csea partners with the Rhode Island Department of Public Safety, the Rhode Island Department of Human Services, and Brown University on grants addressing SNAP outreach, health interventions, and community health worker training; Csea has sub-awarded work including masonry reconstruction and community health worker coordination on efforts serving Cambodian, Hmong, and Laotian populations.
The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service leads award volume with four grants across the five-year snapshot, followed by the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (three awards) and the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (two awards), together representing 69% of recent awards. Combined dollars obligated across all sixteen awards total $3.3 million. Activity shows sporadic growth: one award in 2021, three in 2023, five in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 through August. Csea has no presence on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs; the organization's federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded and sub-award dependent.
