About the company
Independent School District NO. 181, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Brainerd, Minnesota, acts as a recipient of federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, with 67% of recent federal awards taken as sub-recipient funding flowing through the Minnesota Department of Education.
The district's federal footprint centers on two grantor agencies accounting for 100% of recent awards: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (21 awards) and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (8 awards). As a prime recipient, Independent School District NO. 181 has received five consecutive annual Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Educational Agencies) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026, carrying an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The district's larger federal funding volume arrives as sub-recipient awards routed through the Minnesota Department of Education, including recurring USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program claims (CFDA 10.582) and multiple numbered state education awards (coded as 000-series and 011-series allocations) spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2025.
Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to a peak of eleven awards in 2024, then contracted to four in 2025 and one in 2026 — a pattern reflective of the annual grant cycle rather than declining engagement. Combined dollars obligated across all thirty awards total $2.6 million. One award (the prime Indian Education Formula Grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal. The district operates exclusively within federal grant programs; it holds no federal contract prime awards and no seats on federal contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, IDIQs, or GSA Schedules). As a school district administering federal education and child nutrition programs, Independent School District NO. 181 does not supply goods or services to other federal contractors or agencies — it is an end-user recipient of education policy and nutrition-assistance funding.
