Fund For Educational Excellence, Inc.

Fund For Educational Excellence, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Baltimore, Maryland, operates as a federal grant recipient supporting early childhood education, youth development, and school readiness programs primarily through the Corporation for National and Community Service. The organization functions as a grant recipient in 60% of its recent federal activity and as a sub-recipient in 40%, with no prime contracting footprint.

Fund For Educational Excellence's customer base centers on three grantor agencies accounting for 100% of recent awards. The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management leads with 3 awards, while the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Administration for Children and Families each contributed 1 award. The combined federal obligated amount across all five recent awards totals $5.2 million, with activity spanning 2017 through August 2025. The organization's most recent award came in August 2025 as a sub-recipient on an early childhood care and education strategic planning grant from the Maryland State Department of Education, extending education access and coordination work across the mixed-delivery system serving low-income and disadvantaged children in transition to elementary school.

As a prime recipient, Fund For Educational Excellence holds a FY 2024 VISTA Support Grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, extended through August 7, 2027, with a revised budget total of $297,685 including FY 2025 funding augmentation. As a sub-recipient, the organization serves as fiscal agent for Baltimore's Promise, a collaborative dedicated to improving outcomes for Baltimore City youth across five goals: healthy births, kindergarten readiness, grade-level achievement, high school graduation without remediation, and post-secondary credential attainment or career readiness. The organization also received a sub-award from The Johns Hopkins University supporting the same Baltimore Promise initiative. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a single recompete or continuation opportunity. Fund For Educational Excellence's federal activity reflects a focused mission supporting vulnerable youth populations in the Baltimore region through education, health, and workforce preparation programs funded through federal grant mechanisms rather than traditional federal procurement.
