About Stepafrika! U.s.a.
Step Afrika USA, registered in SAM.gov since September 2005, is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization and minority-owned business that specializes in cultural programming and artistic performance services. The organization operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity and has established itself as a vendor capable of supporting federal agencies in the areas of international cultural diplomacy, arts programming, and educational initiatives. Step Afrika USA leverages its expertise in stepping—an African-American cultural art form—to deliver artistic, educational, and community engagement services to federal agencies seeking to advance cultural diplomacy and promote American values internationally.
Step Afrika USA has completed one federal prime contract award through the Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service in February 2023. The contract, valued at $14,000 as a firm fixed price purchase order, engaged Chef Chris to deliver culinary diplomacy programming in Toronto and Montreal. The services included cooking demonstrations, recipe development, and panel discussions designed to promote U.S. agricultural products and ingredients to Canadian audiences. This sole source contract, awarded without set-aside designation and completed in March 2023, demonstrates the organization's capacity to support specialized diplomatic and promotional activities that advance U.S. government objectives in international markets and trade relationships.
Step Afrika USA has received nine federal prime grant awards since 2021, predominantly funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), with supplementary support from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. The most recent award, granted by the NEA in January 2026, provides project grant funding to support a stepping performance national tour honoring Black History Month, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2026. Prior NEA grants have consistently supported Black History Month stepping performance tours and personnel expenses, including a substantial $150,000 award in January 2022 designated for personnel costs supporting arts programming and pandemic recovery through December 2023. Beyond domestic programming, Step Afrika USA has received international cultural diplomacy grants, including a March 2023 project grant from the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs to fund a stepping performance tour in Kuwait and grants from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs in 2021 and 2022 supporting artistic fees and honorariums for workshops and lectures on stepping and youth education in Zagreb. These grant awards, all structured as project grants under various arts and cultural exchange programs, reflect the organization's established role in delivering performing arts services, educational programming, and international cultural outreach on behalf of multiple federal agencies.
