About Lutheran World Relief Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Lutheran World Relief Inc., a Baltimore-based tax-exempt nonprofit and subsidiary of Corus International Inc., operates as a federal grant recipient delivering agricultural development and humanitarian assistance programs in developing countries and emerging democracies under the Department of Agriculture's Food for Progress program (CFDA 10.606), the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001), and related multilateral initiatives. The organization acts exclusively as a prime grant recipient (95% of recent awards) and sub-recipient on USAID cooperative agreements, with no contracting footprint.

Lutheran World Relief's capability portfolio centers on sustainable agriculture, market systems strengthening, agricultural value chain development, food security, and economic resilience for conflict-affected and post-disaster populations. Recent high-value cooperative agreements anchor the grant pipeline: a $25 million Food for Progress cooperative agreement from USDA's Kansas City Commodity Office running through September 2030 for Vietnam agricultural development (awarded September 23, 2025), a $9.115 million Food for Progress cooperative agreement for Nepal agricultural productivity and trade expansion through March 31, 2029 (awarded September 23, 2025), and a $27.225 million Food for Education cooperative agreement from USDA for Tanzania school feeding and girls' education through multi-year performance (awarded September 30, 2024). The organization also received an $8 million USAID project grant for conflict-affected populations in Burkina Faso supporting agriculture, nutrition, and economic recovery from September 2024 through August 2026, and a $1.185 million USAID project grant for Nepal multi-hazard community resilience through June 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward international development agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of all awards: the Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (31 awards), USAID (16 awards), USDA Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office (7 awards), USDA Farm Service Agency Washington Office (2 awards), and USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Food for Education (1 award). Total combined dollars obligated across all 66 awards since 2006 reaches $236.3 million. Recent activity has stabilized at 4 awards annually across 2024 and 2025; only 1 award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. In its sub-recipient role, Lutheran World Relief implements USAID cacao sector development activities across Latin America (Ecuador and Peru) and engages sub-recipients including Rikolto and Bioversity International for regional agricultural platform development and research support.
