Granger School District 204

Granger School District #204, a U.S. local government school district based in Granger, Washington, receives federal grants as a prime recipient (46% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient (54%) under federal education and nutrition programs administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and subordinate federal agencies. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not participate in contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded.

Granger School District #204's federal revenue stream centers on K–12 education funding. As a prime recipient, the district holds recurring formula grants and multi-year project grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, including Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (most recent award July 1, 2026, completing June 30, 2027) and Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 awards (most recent award October 1, 2025, completing September 30, 2031). As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction on Title I Part A, Special Education IDEA Part B, McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth, English Language Acquisition, student support and academic enrichment, and child nutrition program administration. The district also participates in GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) and Rural Initiative in STEM Education and Undergraduate Preparation (RISE UP) sub-grants administered through the University of Washington. A separate sub-award from Educational Service District 105 (awarded January 1, 2026) supports the Yakima Consortium Full-Service Community Schools Model, which coordinates integrated student supports, expanded learning time, family engagement, and collaborative leadership across elementary and middle schools in the district.

The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 98% of Granger School District #204's award volume (55 awards), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service contributing 19 awards for child nutrition operations and the Office of Postsecondary Education supplying 9 awards for higher-education preparation programming. Federal obligated dollars across all 90 prime and sub awards total $12.4 million. The district's activity has grown from a single award in 2022 to peaks of 21 awards in 2024 and 16 in 2025, with 5 awards recorded through mid-2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, ongoing grant funding with minimal near-term recompete exposure. Granger School District #204 operates as an education recipient rather than a vendor; its federal footprint reflects standard formula-grant and pass-through funding mechanisms for rural and high-poverty school districts serving Native American students and economically disadvantaged populations.
