About the company
Penn Center, Inc., a tax-exempt minority-owned and Black American-owned nonprofit organization based on St Helena Island, South Carolina, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on community facility development, historic preservation programming, and rural infrastructure in the coastal Southeast. The organization does not hold federal prime contracts or subcontracts; all federal activity consists of grant awards as recipient only.
Penn Center's federal grant footprint centers on the Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service and Rural Utilities Service. The vendor has received three awards from USDA Rural Housing Service programs, including a $192,800 project grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) awarded September 26, 2022, supporting construction and improvement of community facilities serving rural residents in South Carolina. A second award from Rural Utilities Service, announced June 28, 2024, was designated as Community Facility 2022 Disaster Assistance Funds Grants with an ultimate completion date of June 28, 2026. Most recently, on April 1, 2025, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a project grant to Penn Center to support a public programming initiative, "The Black Struggle for Freedom Before and After Juneteenth," celebrating Juneteenth at the Penn Center National Historic Landmark District and exploring Gullah Geechee history and African American freedom struggles through June 30, 2025. Combined potential value across all federal awards totals $10 thousand; combined dollars obligated exceed $1.2 million. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award each in 2022, 2024, and 2025, with no awards recorded in the intervening years. Penn Center serves eight distinct federal agencies as a grant recipient, though 67% of awards by count concentrate within USDA Rural Housing Service offices. The organization does not appear on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs, limiting its federal footprint to grant funding only.
