About Special Olympics Inc.
Special Olympics Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, DC, receives annual federal grant awards from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to design and implement nationwide Special Olympics education programs serving individuals with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics Inc. holds the statutory designation as the sole eligible recipient under the Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act of 2004 and operates as a prime grant recipient (98% of recent awards); the organization is not a federal contractor and does not hold contracts or contract vehicles.
Special Olympics Inc.'s federal footprint centers on the Special Education - Special Olympics Education Programs grant (CFDA 84.380), which has funded the organization with $36 million annually for fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, with the most recent $38 million award on September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2027. The organization distributes sub-grant funding to over 50 state and local Special Olympics chapters nationwide to implement the Unified Champion Schools program, which partners students with and without intellectual disabilities in unified sports teams, leadership roles, and whole-school engagement activities aligned with academic content standards. The grant also supports character education, volunteer programs, inclusive youth leadership initiatives, and sports competitions designed to promote social inclusion and community integration for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In a secondary research-support role, Special Olympics Inc. served as a sub-grantee under The Ohio State University on a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center prevalence and intervention study, handling athlete recruitment across Special Olympics venues, digital centers of excellence, volunteer infrastructure, and state chapter networks.
The Department of Education accounts for 18 awards (44% of the total award count) and the bulk of obligated federal dollars. Secondary customer agencies include the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (5 awards), the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (4 awards) and Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (3 awards), and the US Agency for International Development (3 awards), reflecting earlier international programming and public-health collaborations. Special Olympics Inc. has received one federal grant sub-award. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure on the primary OSERS annual cycle. The organization operates as a pass-through and implementation vehicle for federal special education policy rather than as a competitive vendor in the federal market.
