About the company
Shell Museum And Educational Foundation, Inc. (doing business as Shell Museum & Educational Foundation Inc.), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Sanibel, Florida, receives federal funding as a sub-recipient of federal grants, not as a direct prime contractor or prime grantee. The organization operates primarily under FEMA disaster-relief and emergency-management funding routed through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management, with supplementary grants from the National Science Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The vendor's federal footprint is modest and mission-driven. Recent activity reflects three sub-awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (acting through Florida's Division of Emergency Management), totaling documented obligations of $1.4 million across seven awards in the source data spanning from 2012 to August 2025. The three FEMA sub-awards target physical restoration and contents preservation at the Shell Museum's main building following disaster events: $732,750 obligated in August 2025 for Shell Museum Main Building Contents, $705,120 in June 2024 for Main Building Shell Museum and Educational Foundation, and an earlier sub-award in August 2023 covering emergency project management from September 2022 through December 2022 at 100% cost share. Beyond FEMA, the organization holds four prime federal grants from the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (2 awards), the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure (1 award), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (1 award). These are educational and research grants supporting the museum's core mission rather than disaster recovery.
The organization does not compete for federal contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs. It functions as a recipient of grant funding for disaster recovery, educational programming, and scientific research support, with all documented recent activity routed through state intermediaries or direct federal grant programs for educational institutions and museums. Activity is episodic, averaging fewer than two awards per calendar year, and concentrated entirely within FEMA and science-education grant programs.
