Ashwood School District #8, a public school district located in Ashwood, Oregon, receives federal funding as a prime recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA), a formula grant program managed by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district operates as a sub-recipient on an additional portfolio of education grants flowing from the Oregon Department of Education, which acts as the prime grantee.

Ashwood is a U.S. local government entity and school district without federal contract prime awards or contract vehicles. The district's federal funding footprint is entirely grant-based. As a prime recipient, Ashwood holds five annual SRSA formula grants from the Department of Education, each running from July 1 through September 30 of the following year. Most recently, the district received SRSA awards on July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026. In its sub-recipient role, the district draws funding through the Oregon Department of Education across multiple special-education and instructional-support programs, including IDEA Part B 611 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, school-age), IDEA Part B 619 (IDEA preschool), Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, the Rural School Library Revitalization Mini-Grant Program, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds. Sub-awards span from November 2021 through August 2026, with the most recent sub-award dated August 6, 2026.

The district's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 32 awards (76% of the total 42-award footprint), while the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 10 awards (24%). The district is a sub-recipient on 57% of its awards, primarily from the Oregon Department of Education, and a prime recipient on 43%. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-two awards total $482 thousand. Annual award volume has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years, ranging from three to five awards per year. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district does not compete for contracts or operate under set-asides; its role is confined to the receipt and administration of federal education grants at the K–12 institutional level.
