Project Hope - The People-To-People Health Foundation Inc.

Project Hope - The People-To-People Health Foundation Inc. Chris Skopec Division operates as a federal grant recipient delivering international humanitarian health services, emergency response, and community-based health programming under awards from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department of State, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Project Hope is a tax-exempt nonprofit foundation headquartered in Washington, DC, registered with SAM.gov since 2002, and receives the majority of its federal funding through cooperative agreements and project grants rather than contracts; 88% of recent awards place Project Hope as prime recipient, with 12% as a sub-grantee under lead grant recipients.

Project Hope's capability portfolio centers on maternal and child health, emergency response to humanitarian crises, health system strengthening, and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in underserved populations across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Recent representative work includes a $55.8 million five-year cooperative agreement from USAID under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths in Ghana through engagement with Ghana's public, private, and faith-based health system stakeholders — work performed with sub-grantees Sanford World Clinics and the Christian Health Association of Ghana. Project Hope received an $8 million project grant from the Department of State under the International Disaster and Humanitarian Response program (CFDA 19.045) on July 2, 2026, to deliver emergency health, WASH, and protection services in Venezuela following an earthquake, with completion by December 31, 2026. A $2 million project grant from the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (CFDA 19.518), awarded November 6, 2025, funded emergency health, mental health and psychosocial support, and WASH services in hurricane-affected parishes of Jamaica, with sub-grantee Samu Foundation supporting implementation.

Domestically, Project Hope holds a project grant from the Office of Minority Health supporting the Pathways Project, a diabetes health-outcomes initiative targeting the 61.3% Hispanic/Latino population of Bexar County, Texas, delivered in partnership with the Health Collaborative, Community Information Now, and C3HIE. An earlier project grant from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (completion August 31, 2023) supported community-based workforce development for COVID-19 vaccine confidence.

USAID dominates Project Hope's customer concentration, accounting for 26 awards across USAID headquarters and regional missions in Ethiopia and Namibia; the Department of State placed 4 awards. A single $24.3 million USAID award anchors the combined potential-value rankings, delivered through the USAID Central Asia Kazakhstan mission. The vendor serves 29 distinct federal agencies across the award footprint, though coverage is heavily skewed toward international development and humanitarian assistance accounts. Project Hope places one task order under GSA Indefinite Delivery Contract SLMAQM00H0151.

In its sub-recipient role, Project Hope delivers technical assistance, capacity building, and program implementation support under prime grantees including JSI Research & Training Institute Inc. (quality healthcare and emergency care delivery in Ethiopia), Project Hope Namibia (health system strengthening and community empowerment activities across multiple USAID-funded programs), Public Health Institute (multi-year minority-serving institution fellowship programming), and the Department of Public Health Illinois (respiratory protection programming). Most recent sub-award activity occurred in January 2025 as a sub-recipient to Deloitte Consulting LLP on health reform and recovery work.

Activity has been episodic in recent years — one award in 2022, nine in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — suggesting project-completion cycles rather than sustained pipeline growth. A single award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure.
