Recovery Soldiers Ministries

Recovery Soldiers Ministries, a nonprofit organization based in Elizabethton, Tennessee, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), with a footprint consisting entirely of grant work rather than contracts. The vendor has received one prime grant award and two sub-grant awards across a 24-month window, totaling $534 thousand in combined obligation.

The prime grant activity consists of a $125 thousand project grant from ARC under the Appalachian Area Development program (CFDA 23.002), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for March 31, 2027. The award supports research and evaluation activities in Tennessee aligned with ARC's strategic mission to advance regional economic competitiveness and self-sustaining development. The two sub-grant awards, both dated September 1, 2023, were issued under the National Service Grant Program (NSGP) 2023 to the Men and Women Center, though specific dollar values and the grantor agency for those sub-awards are not detailed in the source.

Customer concentration is minimal — ARC is the sole named federal agency in the vendor's award portfolio, accounting for 33% of awards by count. Activity is sparse: two awards in 2023 and one in 2025. One award (the ARC prime grant) completes within the next 24 months, creating a potential recompete window in the first half of 2027. The vendor's federal footprint aligns with regional economic development and workforce capacity-building missions characteristic of ARC programming, with no visible federal contract experience or parent vehicle participation.
