About Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc.
Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc., doing business as Middle East Broadcasting, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering international multimedia broadcasting services to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) under the congressionally-authorized International Broadcasting Independent Grantee Organizations program (CFDA 90.500). The organization is a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, and functions exclusively as a grant recipient — it holds no federal contracts, no contract prime or sub positions, and no parent contract vehicles.
Middle East Broadcasting's funding relationship with USAGM is concentrated and recurring. The vendor has received twelve grant awards since 2012, with eleven awards flowing directly from USAGM and one from USAGM's Office of Technology Services and Innovation. The grant portfolio shows annual consistency — one award per year from 2021 through 2025 — and carries substantial combined obligated value of $1.29 billion across the award set. The most recent award, dated October 1, 2025, is a $45.2 million project grant covering planning and operational expenses for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. A prior award dated November 30, 2021, carried $167.8 million in grant funding. These grants fund production and dissemination of multimedia content — including traditional broadcasting, digital media, podcasts, and video reporting — on topics such as politics, economics, science, and technology, reaching audiences in the Middle East region. The organization operates as an alternative information source in regions with limited press freedoms, advancing U.S. public diplomacy objectives while promoting freedom and democracy through cross-cultural communication. As a congressionally-authorized nonprofit grantee, Middle East Broadcasting must submit annual financial plans, undergo independent audits, and maintain compliance documentation in accordance with USAGM program requirements. One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete opportunity in that window.
