Metropolitan United Methodist Church

Metropolitan United Methodist Church, a tax-exempt nonprofit and Black American-owned community development corporation headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, operates as a federal grant sub-recipient delivering mental health and HIV prevention services under awards from the City of Montgomery and the Alabama Department of Health. The church holds no prime contracts or grant awards; all three recent federal awards in the source are sub-grants totaling $555 thousand obligated across 2025.

The church's federal footprint is nascent and narrowly concentrated in public health and violence-prevention work. Two awards from the Alabama Department of Health, both dated March 3, 2025, fund HIV prevention and treatment programs focused on diagnosing, treating, preventing, and responding to new infections, and achieving viral suppression among persons already diagnosed. An August 21, 2025 sub-grant from the City of Montgomery funds mental health services for violence survivors and those at highest risk, delivered through licensed qualified mental health professionals and structured around behavioral health, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, grief therapy, and socio-emotional reflection circles. The federal funding sources behind these sub-awards flow from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (two awards) and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (one award), accounting for 100% of the church's named federal footprint in the source data. Combined potential or obligated value is $555 thousand across all three sub-grants, with the earliest award dated March 3, 2025 and the most recent dated August 21, 2025. The church does not sit on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or agency schedules and competes exclusively as a sub-recipient within local and state government grant pass-through structures rather than as a direct federal prime.
