Centro Venezolano Americano De Margarita Corp

Centro Venezolano Americano De Margarita Corp, a Miami-based Hispanic American-owned nonprofit organization, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on educational exchange, public diplomacy, and democratic-governance programming in Venezuela. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not appear on any contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of thirteen project grants awarded since 2021, all from the Department of State.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated within State Department bureaus. The Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs has funded nine awards and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs four awards, accounting for 100% of the vendor's federal grant portfolio. Combined obligated dollars across all thirteen grants total $508 thousand, reflecting the grant-per-award scale typical of public diplomacy and educational exchange work.

Recent representative work centers on Venezuela-focused programming. In July 2026, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs awarded a project grant to provide administrative support to the American Spaces Venezuela Network and serve as the primary platform for increasing Venezuelan access to information on U.S. policies (completion date June 30, 2027). In June 2026, the same bureau awarded a second active grant to facilitate EducationUSA outreach and advising programs through distribution of FY-2026 ECA EducationUSA support funds (completion date June 1, 2027). In November 2022, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs awarded a $105.4 thousand project grant under Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA #19.040) to develop and implement a joint USG alumni and American Spaces program focused on creating awareness and strengthening democratic practices in Venezuela. Additional 2022 awards from Western Hemisphere Affairs funded American Spaces operability and programming, in-person exchange program participant support, youth leadership and female empowerment programming, civic participation and democratic change initiatives, and internal staff training and regional conference participation.

Award activity increased from four grants in 2021 to seven in 2022, then flattened through 2023–2025 before resuming in 2026 with two new awards. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no subcontractor engagement on federal grants and no role as a subcontractor to contract primes.
