Learning To Grow, Inc.

Learning To Grow, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Elma, Washington, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal child nutrition programs, with no prime contract vehicles or direct federal grants. The vendor has received nine federal grant sub-awards totaling $109 thousand across a two-year period, all routed through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction as the prime grantee on Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service child nutrition grant programs.

Learning To Grow's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All nine sub-awards are linked to the same grantor agency (the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service) and the same prime recipient (the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction). Sub-awards were issued on October 9, 2023 (two sub-awards), October 1, 2024 (six sub-awards), and October 1, 2025 (one sub-award). Each sub-award description identifies the vendor's role as providing reimbursement and administrative support for child nutrition programs — consistent with a school-based nutrition services or program administration role rather than a systems integrator or consulting capacity. The vendor does not hold SBA set-aside certifications, hold seats on GWACs or IDIQs, or compete on prime federal contracts.

Activity has increased from two awards in 2023 to six in 2024, then contracted to one award in 2025 (as of the source snapshot date of July 15, 2026, nine months past the most recent award). The $109 thousand cumulative obligated value across all nine awards reflects sub-award magnitude typical of school nutrition program reimbursement and administrative-support sub-grants rather than consulting or professional services work. The vendor's entire federal presence sits within a single grantor agency and a single state-level prime recipient, creating minimal competitive exposure against federal contractors but signaling a localized, education and nutrition-focused business model.
