About the company
Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation Jackie Joyner-Kersee Youth Center Foundation Division is a tax-exempt nonprofit minority-owned and woman-owned foundation based in East St. Louis, Illinois, that operates as a federal grant recipient (25% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (75%) focused on youth education, food security, and community environmental conservation in low-income urban areas. The organization does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; all activity flows through federal grant programs and sub-awards from state and nonprofit prime grantees.
The foundation's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture ecosystem. All eight awards in the source data involve USDA, distributed across the Food and Nutrition Service (three awards), the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (two awards), the National Resources Conservation Service (one award), and the Forest Service R9-Eastern Region (one award). Housing and Urban Development accounts for one prime grant. The foundation's grant footprint emphasizes child nutrition and youth agricultural education. As a prime recipient, the foundation holds a cooperative agreement with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (awarded September 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2027) for leveraging community facilities to integrate conservation solutions and education in a postindustrial footprint, and a project grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (awarded February 17, 2023, ultimate completion August 31, 2030) for economic development and community project funding. As a sub-recipient, the foundation participates in child and adult care food program (CACFP) reimbursement and summer food service program (SFSP) awards flowing from the Illinois State Board of Education (three sub-awards, most recent March 10, 2026), manages an urban agricultural education and farm technology program as a sub-recipient under Donald Danforth Plant Science Center (two sub-awards for recruiting urban youth, hosting field trips, and collecting plant growth data from raised-bed corn plots, awarded May 7, 2024 and August 19, 2024), and participates in a forest health and tree canopy equity initiative sub-award from The Morton Arboretum (awarded December 13, 2024).
Award volume has grown from one award in 2023 to four in 2024, then declined to two in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all eight awards is $2.3 million. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore recompete exposure.
