Dove Inc.

Dove Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Decatur, Illinois, receives federal grants as a prime recipient to deliver homeless services, domestic violence prevention, and senior volunteer programs, with 64% of its recent award footprint as prime grants and 36% as sub-grants from state agencies. The organization operates exclusively in the federal grant space; it holds no federal contracts and does not compete on contract vehicles.

Dove Inc.'s federal grant portfolio centers on three core capability areas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the majority of Dove's work under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which supports permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems operations for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in central Illinois. Recent HUD CoC awards include a $125,642 grant issued September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2027; a $187,638 award dated March 1, 2026, covering the period through February 28, 2027; and a $353,773 award from November 1, 2025, running through October 31, 2026. The organization also receives awards from the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (CFDA 94.002), deploying volunteers ages 55 and older to address food security, youth mentoring, workforce development, and disaster preparedness support; a $218,171 award issued June 24, 2026, runs through March 31, 2029. Dove serves as a sub-recipient from the Illinois Department of Human Services on grants addressing Family Violence Prevention and Services Act funding, Social Services Block Grants, and Emergency Solutions assistance, and receives sub-awards from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for Services for Underserved Victims of Violent Crime funding.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated with HUD's Continuum of Care program, which accounts for 129 awards in the recent footprint. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (appearing in the top customers list as two separate entries, 40 and 24 awards respectively) places the second-largest volume, followed by the Corporation for National and Community Service with ten awards combined. These three federal grantors account for 91% of Dove's award count. Dove's grant work shows variable annual activity: seven awards in 2022, fifty-one in 2023, thirty-seven in 2024, nine in 2025, and twelve in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, seven awards carrying ultimate completion dates enter the recompete cycle. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $23.5 million, with an average award size in the low-to-mid hundreds of thousands of dollars per HUD CoC grant cycle.

Dove operates as a sub-recipient on domestic violence prevention, family services, and emergency housing grants channeled through state intermediaries, primarily the Illinois Department of Human Services. Recent sub-award activity includes multiple Family Violence Prevention and Services awards issued in July 2024, June 2024, and February 2024; Emergency Solutions sub-grants dated December 2023 and August 2023; and a March 5, 2025, sub-award from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for services to underserved crime victims. This sub-award channel represents direct federal funding pass-through but reaches Dove via state administration rather than direct federal award.
