About the company
Washington West African Center, a nonprofit organization based in Lynnwood, Washington, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants, delivering community-based victim services and hate-crime awareness programming to underserved populations on behalf of state and federal grantor agencies. The organization is designated as a minority-owned and Black American-owned business.
All three of Washington West African Center's recent federal awards are sub-awards under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime portfolio. The organization holds a $419 thousand combined obligation across these three grants. Recent work includes a February 2026 sub-award from the Attorney General's Office to develop and execute outreach, engagement, and community education strategy for a hate-crime and bias-incident reporting hotline, with focus on culturally responsive, trauma-informed engagement tailored to community-specific cultural and linguistic needs. The organization also holds two sub-awards from the Washington State Department of Commerce, both dated October 1, 2022, one of which supports direct services to victims of crime; the second was amended in late 2022 to add new funds.
Washington West African Center operates only as a sub-recipient in the federal space — it holds no prime contracts, IDIQs, or primary grant awards. All three recent awards flow through the Department of Justice Victims of Crime program and related state pass-through grantees. The organization's federal footprint is concentrated and limited: three grants since 2022, all sub-awards, with activity appearing to spike in 2026 after a gap year from 2023 through 2025. The combined federal obligation across all tracked awards totals $419 thousand. Washington West African Center's role is rooted in community trust and cultural fluency within West African diasporic and broader communities of color, positioning it as a specialized sub-recipient for federal victims' services and hate-crime prevention work rather than as a prime federal contractor or systems integrator.
