About the company

Fort Dodge Community School District, operating as Gordon Willard Alternative Program, is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Fort Dodge, Iowa, that receives federal education and workforce development grant funding as a sub-recipient from the Iowa Department of Education and the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. The district does not hold prime federal contracts or IDVs; all eleven recent federal awards in the source data are sub-awards flowing through state intermediaries, with 82% of awards as a sub-recipient and 18% as a prime recipient of smaller grants.

The district's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely in K–12 education and career-technical education programming. Among recent sub-awards, the district received Perkins V Career and Technical Education funds for a college and career transition counselor role under the Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, as amended (award dated September 28, 2025); Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies for disadvantaged student support (July 3, 2025); Title II Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants for teacher and principal training and recruiting (July 31, 2025); Part B Special Education Grants to States under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (July 7, 2025); Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Program funds (August 1, 2025); and 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program funds for after-school learning centers (July 2, 2024). The district also received sub-awards under the Comprehensive Literacy Development Project (September 4, 2024), the Stronger Connections Grant Program (September 15, 2022), and Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) 3.0, a multi-year grant from the Iowa College Student Aid Commission (October 1, 2023).

Customer concentration centers on the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (six awards, 55% of the portfolio), with smaller exposures to the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. The source data spans eleven awards with $3.6 million in combined obligation value from 2014 through September 2025. Activity has accelerated recently, with five awards in 2025 alone compared to one award each in 2022 and 2023, though the annual volume remains modest and all awards flow through state intermediaries rather than direct federal relationships. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of a K–12 education agency receiving formula and competitive grants for student support services, alternative education, and career readiness programming rather than serving as a prime contractor or vehicle holder.
