About the company
Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago, Inc., a Chicago-based tax-exempt nonprofit, serves as a federal grant recipient delivering early childhood education, family support, and nutrition services to HHS programs in Illinois, operating primarily as a sub-recipient (88% of recent awards) on state-administered federal grants. The organization holds no federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of HHS grant work channeled through state intermediaries — the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois State Board of Education — rather than direct federal awards.
Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago's capability portfolio centers on Head Start and Early Head Start educational delivery, maternal and early childhood home visiting, child nutrition programs, and social services for low-income families and young children. The organization holds a $15.350864 million five-year Head Start prime grant from HHS Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.600), awarded July 1, 2026 and running through June 30, 2031, which funds educational, health, nutritional, and social services to enhance school readiness across cognitive, physical, behavioral, and social-emotional domains. As a sub-recipient, Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago draws the majority of its federal activity from HHS and USDA nutrition programs; representative sub-awards include multiple Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV, CFDA 93.870) grants from the Illinois Department of Human Services, Social Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.837) sub-awards from IDHS, and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and school meal program reimbursements from the Illinois State Board of Education.
Federal grant funding is concentrated heavily within HHS. The Department of Health and Human Services accounts for 54 of the 66 recent awards; the Administration for Children and Families and Health Resources and Services Administration are the primary HHS offices active across the footprint, supplemented by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (6 awards). All customer agencies are accessed through state pass-through mechanisms rather than direct federal relationships.
Activity shows significant cyclical volatility, with 24 awards recorded in 2023 and 22 in 2024, dropping to 7 awards each in 2025 and 2026. Combined obligated dollars across the entire footprint stand at $401.7 million. The organization has served five distinct customer agencies continuously since 2008 and operates exclusively within the Illinois service area, positioning itself as a regional early childhood and family services provider rather than a national federal contractor or broad-based nonprofit.
