Oak Park Church, Inc.

Oak Park Church, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Richmond, Indiana, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in its portfolio. The organization has received 31 federal grant sub-awards since 2021, all routed through state intermediaries; 29 awards flow from the Department of Education Indiana and one from the Indiana Department of Health, for a combined obligated value of $540 thousand.

Oak Park Church's primary federal funding source is the Department of Education Indiana, which passes through allocations as subrecipient grant funding. The organization's stated mission centers on community services and facility security in an underserved, at-risk area of Richmond. A grant sub-award dated October 31, 2024 describes the organization's facility as hosting a childcare ministry, food pantry, recreational center, and fitness park serving a vulnerable population including women, children, the elderly, and individuals experiencing poverty, substance use disorders, mental health issues, and domestic violence. That award funded critical physical security upgrades—closed-circuit television cameras on building exterior, impact-resistant commercial doors, impact-resistant windows on the childcare program side, access-controlled door systems with card readers and intercoms—to reduce vulnerabilities in a high-traffic facility located on Chester Boulevard near Interstate 70 and Highway 40. A single sub-award from the Indiana Department of Health, dated September 25, 2023, is described as "ELC Enhancing Detection/Expansion," suggesting public health program involvement.

Activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to eight in both 2025 and 2026 (the latter covering only January through May). The organization holds no government-wide contract vehicles, BPAs, IDIQs, or GSA schedules. The award footprint reflects pass-through state intermediary grant administration rather than direct federal procurement; Oak Park Church's role is limited to sub-recipient compliance and program delivery under state-level awards. No contract subcontracting relationships appear in the source data.
