Green DOT Public Schools National

Green DOT Public Schools National, a California-based tax-exempt nonprofit, acts as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient delivering community learning center and school-turnaround programming under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The organization operates entirely within the federal grant space rather than the contract vehicle landscape — no contract prime awards or contract IDVs in the source footprint — with 80% of recent activity routed through sub-recipient positions under California Department of Education as the prime grantee.

The organization's federal footprint is concentrated and nascent. A single customer agency, the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, accounts for 100% of the five awards tracked in the source data, spanning $4.3 million in combined obligated dollars. Green DOT Public Schools National received one direct prime grant award on October 1, 2023 — a project grant for a multi-context operational guidebook to catalyze charter-district partnerships focused on turning around low-performing schools, with ultimate completion in May 2024. The remaining four awards, all dated in 2025 (February 27 and December 18), are sub-awards under California Department of Education as prime grantee, supporting community learning center activities that provide academic enrichment for children in high-poverty and low-performing schools, with emphasis on core academic subjects including reading and math, enrichment activities, and literacy services to families.

Activity accelerated in 2025 with four awards versus one in 2023. The sub-recipient posture — receiving 80% of recent activity through the California Department of Education rather than bidding directly — indicates Green DOT Public Schools National operates as a regional implementation partner within the state education ecosystem rather than as an independent federal grantee. No contract vehicles, no SBA set-aside designations, and no sub-contract prime relationships appear in the source data.
