Food Bank Of Iowa Inc.

Food Bank Of Iowa Inc., a nonprofit organization headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, operates as a federal grant recipient providing food distribution and emergency nutrition support services to rural communities. The organization holds a sparse recent federal award footprint of three awards—two as a prime grant recipient and one as a sub-recipient—totaling $2 million in combined obligated dollars across three distinct federal agencies.

Food Bank Of Iowa Inc. received a project grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development on February 17, 2023, designated as an Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants award, running through August 31, 2031. The organization also received a project grant from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service on February 10, 2023, for an ARP Economic Development Grant for Rural Health Care Facilities, with ultimate completion scheduled for February 10, 2025. In its sub-recipient role, Food Bank Of Iowa Inc. was awarded TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) administrative funding from the Iowa Department of Human Services on September 30, 2025, to support storage and distribution costs of TEFAP Foods for fiscal year 2026 under 7 CFR Part 251.

Activity is minimal within the source data window (two awards in 2023, one in 2025), reflecting the organization's recent entry into or limited engagement with the federal grant landscape. The vendor serves three distinct federal customers—the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and HUD's Community Planning and Development office—with no concentration among them. The organization does not hold prime positions on federal contracts or governmentwide acquisition vehicles; all awards are grant-based work as either a direct prime recipient or a sub-recipient of state-administered federal nutrition programs.
