About the company
Chicago Urban League, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Chicago, Illinois, operates as a federal grant recipient (5% of recent awards as prime recipient) and predominantly as a sub-recipient under federal grant programs (95% of recent awards). The organization receives funds through the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Labor, the Small Business Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to deliver workforce development, housing counseling, community development, and STEM education programming to low-income populations in the Chicago area.
Chicago Urban League's federal footprint concentrates heavily in social services and workforce programs. The top five funding agencies account for 76% of recent awards, with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families dominating the award count at 21 sub-awards, followed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (3 awards), the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (2 awards), and single awards from the Small Business Administration and the CDC.

As a sub-recipient, Chicago Urban League partners with state and national prime grantees. The Illinois Department of Human Services serves as prime grantee on multiple Social Services Block Grant (SSBLG) sub-awards dating from 2023 through 2026, directing funds to Chicago Urban League for social service delivery. The National Urban League, Inc., the parent organization, has positioned Chicago Urban League as a sub-recipient on federal workforce, housing counseling, and public health grants, including a job placement and training program for justice-involved youth (awarded July 2024 and October 2024), a comprehensive housing counseling program partnered with minority-serving institutions (October 2023), rental assistance for low-income households (October 2023), and a flu and COVID-19 vaccination outreach program for racial and ethnic populations (February 2024).
Chicago Urban League's single prime award is a $450,000 project grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center under Congressionally Directed Programs (CFDA 43.014), awarded June 1, 2027, with performance ending May 31, 2028. The NASA award funds the Chicago STEM Expansion Project for Youth, expanding access to high-quality STEM programming in Earth and space science for middle and high school students from low-income communities, aligning curriculum with NASA mission priorities in Earth systems science, atmospheric research, space exploration, and aeronautics. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
