Eastern Allegheny Council For Human Services, Incorporated

Eastern Allegheny Council For Human Services, Incorporated is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Moorefield, West Virginia, that operates as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient in early childhood education and child nutrition programs, with 86% of its recent federal footprint rooted in sub-awards from the West Virginia Department of Education under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The organization holds a single prime federal grant award—a $4.1 million Project Grant from the Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600) beginning February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031—which funds comprehensive Head Start and Early Head Start services including educational instruction, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development, and family engagement for low-income children and families in its West Virginia service area. The award is structured as a five-year continuation with non-competing continuation funding potential based on satisfactory performance and compliance with federal standards related to school readiness outcomes, health metrics, and family well-being.

The organization's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, which accounts for 38 of 44 total awards in the source data. These CACFP sub-awards flow through the West Virginia Department of Education as the prime grantee and pay for meal reimbursement and cash-in-lieu reimbursement services; the sub-award listings show monthly or bimonthly flows from December 2024 through May 2026, indicating ongoing operational funding cycles. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for six awards, reflecting the Head Start grant prime relationship. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $68.1 million, with the $4.1 million Head Start award representing the single largest discrete commitment.

Activity has accelerated sharply in recent years: one award in 2015, two in 2021, eight in 2024, twenty in 2025, and eleven in 2026 as of early July. The uptick reflects the Head Start grant award cycle (a five-year continuation beginning February 2026) and the cadence of monthly CACFP sub-award pass-throughs from the state education agency. The organization's federal footprint is almost exclusively grant-driven rather than contract-based; it does not hold federal procurement contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles. The operational model positions Eastern Allegheny Council as a sub-recipient of federal funds channeled through state intermediaries, particularly for nutrition support and early childhood services delivery in West Virginia's Eastern Allegheny region.
