Ki Bois Community Action Foundation Inc.

Ki Bois Community Action Foundation Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Stigler, Oklahoma, functions as a federal grant recipient delivering comprehensive social services to vulnerable and low-income populations across southeastern Oklahoma, with a minor secondary footprint as a sub-recipient on state and federal pass-through grants. The organization operates 52% of its recent federal awards as prime recipient on direct federal grants, with the remaining 48% structured as sub-awards under state administrative agencies.

Ki Bois' federal grant portfolio centers on three primary mission areas: supportive housing and homelessness services, senior volunteerism and intergenerational mentoring, and domestic violence crisis intervention. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the customer base with 29 awards spanning the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homeless management information systems; recent CoC awards include a $144,049 grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and a $129,423 award for fiscal 2024–2025 addressing homelessness in the Stigler region. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $2.86 million under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, funding outreach, case management, VA benefit assistance, and temporary financial assistance for rental support, utilities, moving costs, childcare, and emergency housing for very low-income veteran families; Ki Bois has held recurring SSVF awards since 2021, with prior single-year grants of $3.1 million (October 2022) and $1.27 million (September 2021–2023). The Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management awarded $712,209 for the 2026–2029 AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011), engaging volunteers aged 55 and older in one-on-one tutoring and mentoring of children with special needs and academic disadvantage in schools, Head Start programs, and childcare centers; Ki Bois also operates an AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) award running through March 31, 2028.

The second-largest customer by award count is the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, with 25 awards predominantly structured as sub-awards under the Oklahoma State Department of Education for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which reimburses Ki Bois for nutritious meals provided in daycare centers, Head Start programs, and emergency shelters. Sub-awards span weatherization services (via Oklahoma Department of Commerce under the Weatherization Assistance Program), rural transportation (via state pass-through of Federal Transit Administration formula grants), domestic violence prevention and shelter services (via Oklahoma District Attorneys Council and Oklahoma State Attorney General), and community services block grant operations (via Oklahoma Department of Commerce, CFDA 93.569).

Activity trajectory shows volatility: fourteen awards in 2022 and 2023, rising to twenty-nine in 2024, then declining to thirteen in 2025 and two in 2026 to date. The four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months present moderate recompete exposure. Ki Bois competes exclusively within federal grant programs serving low-income and disadvantaged populations; it does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or agency schedule positions. The organization's customer concentration among HUD, USDA, and VA reflects its positioning as a multi-purpose community action agency with capacity to serve homeless individuals, very low-income families, veterans, domestic violence victims, seniors, and children across a 12-agency federal customer base totaling $175.9 million in combined obligated dollars across 127 awards since 2004.
