Cherryfield School Department is a non-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since August 2014, with its current registration set to expire on February 4, 2025. As a local educational agency in Maine, the organization is dedicated to providing educational services to students in the Cherryfield area. The school department has been actively receiving federal grant awards, primarily focusing on educational support and student welfare programs.

The federal grant awards received by Cherryfield School Department primarily come from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with a consistent focus on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. The school has received multiple sub-grant awards from the Maine Department of Education, covering a wide range of educational support services. These include grants for nutritious lunch programs, providing fresh fruits and vegetables to elementary schools, special education services for children with disabilities (birth to 20 years old), and initiatives to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools. Additionally, the school has received grants related to COVID-19 pandemic response, technology integration, academic achievement improvement, and support for local educational agencies to enhance teacher and principal quality. The sub-grant awards demonstrate a comprehensive approach to supporting students' educational needs, from nutritional support to academic and special education services, with a particular emphasis on serving rural and potentially disadvantaged student populations.
