Holla School

Holla School, a Black American-owned, minority-owned non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on K-12 education and community health equity initiatives rather than as a federal contractor. The organization holds a single prime federal grant award and participates in three sub-recipient roles across federal grant programs, accounting for five awards totaling $438 thousand in combined obligations over the past three years.

Holla School's prime federal footprint consists of a $187,703 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Charter Schools Program (CFDA 84.282), awarded October 1, 2024, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2025. The grant funds planning, program design, and initial implementation for the opening of a new charter school in Portland, serving as a minority-owned, non-profit educational developer.

As a sub-recipient, Holla School participates in three federal grant programs anchored by the Oregon Health Authority. The organization received sub-awards under the Community-Based Organization Public Health Equity Grants program on three separate occasions: July 21, 2023; February 12, 2024; and June 24, 2025. Holla School also appears as a sub-recipient under a Community Environmental Justice Assessment grant from Philanthropy Northwest, awarded January 29, 2026. Across the sub-recipient roles, Holla School's work centers on public health equity, environmental justice assessment, and community-based health initiatives aligned with state and federal priorities.

Customer concentration is distributed across three federal agencies. The Health Resources and Services Administration accounts for three awards through the Oregon Health Authority sub-grant relationship; the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 and the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education each represent one award. Activity has remained modest and sporadic — one award in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with no indication of sustained contract vehicles or recurring task-order relationships.
