Diocese Of Fort Wayne-South Bend Investment Trust, Inc.

Diocese Of Fort Wayne-South Bend Investment Trust, Inc., doing business as Bishop Luers High School, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization operating as a federal grant sub-recipient exclusively — the entity holds no prime contracts and receives all federal funding through sub-awards from the Department of Education Indiana. The organization has received 17 federal grant sub-awards over the past five years, with a combined obligation of $1.1 million, all flowing from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service as the ultimate grantor agency through the Indiana Department of Education as intermediary.

The sub-award activity shows recent acceleration. Bishop Luers received three sub-awards in 2021 and three in 2023, with a single award each in 2024 and 2025, followed by six sub-awards in the first half of 2026 (most recent dated June 30, 2026). All sub-awards are characterized as "Grant Allocation to Subrecipient" in the federal description, indicating direct pass-through funding rather than services performed. The monthly cadence of sub-awards from February through June 2026 suggests recurring allocations tied to a fiscal calendar or ongoing program entitlement, most likely related to Child Nutrition or similar Food and Nutrition Service programs distributed through state education departments to participating schools.

Concentration is complete — 100% of the organization's federal footprint routes through a single customer relationship (USDA Food and Nutrition Service via Department of Education Indiana). Customer agency count totals two (the grantor and the pass-through intermediary), but in decision-relevant terms, Bishop Luers operates entirely within the USDA Child Nutrition portfolio channeled through Indiana's education grant administration. The organization has no prime grants, no contracts, no IDV participation, and no commercial or subcontractor leverage in the federal marketplace — all federal engagement is as a sub-recipient school.

For business development purposes at a federal contractor, Bishop Luers represents neither a partnership opportunity nor a competitive threat; the organization is a K–12 education institution receiving nutrition-program allocations, not a service provider, vendor, or systems integrator. The federal award footprint reflects the school's participation in USDA-funded child feeding programs, not procurement activity.
