About the company
Institute For The Creative Arts, a woman-owned nonprofit organization based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, receiving pass-through education and nutrition funding from state education agencies and regional intermediaries rather than holding prime grants or contracts. The organization has received ten sub-awards totaling $728 thousand across two fiscal years, all routed through either the Department of Education Arkansas or the Arkansas Public School Resource Center as the direct prime grantee.
The vendor's customer base reflects its sub-recipient posture and education focus. All ten awards derive from four federal funding streams administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (four awards) and three U.S. Department of Education offices (four awards from Elementary and Secondary Education, one from Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and one from Innovation and Improvement). The most recent sub-awards, dated July 1 and October 1, 2025, include Title I funding for qualifying personnel and student achievement services, Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) program funds for well-rounded education and technology deployment, early childhood special education services under IDEA for ages three to five, teacher quality and principal preparation funding, and Child Nutrition Program reimbursement for federally compliant student breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks.
Activity has accelerated modestly — two awards in 2023, two in 2024, and six in 2025 — though the absolute dollar scale remains modest at $728 thousand across the portfolio. The vendor does not hold any prime federal contracts, IDVs, GWACs, or grant awards; its role is consistently as a sub-recipient of education and child nutrition funds flowing from state and regional education intermediaries to local school support programs. The October 2023 sub-award from the Arkansas Public School Resource Center for Charter School Program (CSP) subgrant planning and initial implementation represents the only non-Department of Education Arkansas funding source in the recent portfolio, signaling potential involvement with charter school development initiatives. Across all sub-awards, the organization delivers core K–12 education program support — teacher quality, academic enrichment, special education services, and meal program compliance — aligned with ESEA and USDA nutrition-program requirements.
