About the company
Marafiki Center, a Black American-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit based in Lexington, Kentucky, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal refugee-support and youth-mentoring grants, with no prime contracting or grant activity in the current award footprint.
Marafiki Center has received three sub-grant awards, all issued between December 2024 and September 2025, flowing through Catholic Charities of Louisville as the prime grantee. All three awards stem from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The grants support refugee school impact programming and refugee support services with youth mentoring components; combined obligated funding across the three sub-awards totals $877 thousand. The vendor's federal footprint is nascent and concentrated in a single funding stream routed through a single prime grantee, with no award diversity across customer agencies, contracting vehicles, or program areas at present.
Activity shows early momentum — one award in 2024, two in 2025 — but the vendor's scale, customer concentration (100% of awards from HHS/ACF), and reliance on a single pass-through relationship (Catholic Charities of Louisville) position this as an emerging nonprofit with limited federal footprint depth. The vendor does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs, and has not pursued prime grant or contract awards within the scope of available data.
