Friends Of Children And Families, Inc.

Friends Of Children And Families, Inc., doing business as Friends, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Orlando, Florida that receives federal funding as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs, not as a prime contractor. The organization operates exclusively in a sub-recipient capacity and does not hold prime federal contracts or serve on federal contract vehicles.

Friends' federal award footprint is nascent. The source records three sub-award grants totaling $284 thousand in obligated dollars across a two-year span (2025–2026), all awarded within the past eighteen months. Two of the three awards, both dated May 5, 2026, fund facility improvements on two group homes — located at 1099 E Fullers Cross Rd. in Winter Garden and 10331 Lehman Rd. in Orlando — designed to enhance storm readiness through installation of impact-resistant windows and backup generators; the awards cover personnel costs, materials, and construction expenses. A third sub-award dated October 1, 2025 funds public facility improvements for a location serving low- to moderate-income limited clientele. The source does not specify the grantor agency, federal grant program, or CFDA number for any of these awards, nor does it name the prime-grant recipient through which Friends receives its sub-awards.

The organization's federal profile shows minimal contracting activity and no prime-award experience. All recorded awards are sub-recipient grants; no prime contracts, IDVs, GWACs, or BPAs appear in the source. Activity volume is two awards in 2026 and one in 2025, with the most recent award five months prior to the snapshot date. Friends does not compete on federal contracts and has not been awarded a federal contracting vehicle. The nonprofit's federal footprint to date reflects community development and facilities-improvement work rather than service contracting or professional services delivery.
