The Blueprint Foundation

The Blueprint Foundation, a Black American-owned nonprofit and tax-exempt entity, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants supporting environmental justice, green workforce development, and public health equity initiatives. The organization has no prime federal contracts and no direct federal contract vehicle positions; all activity is sub-grant work under larger federal grant programs managed by nonprofit prime grantees.

The Blueprint Foundation's federal footprint spans three sub-grant awards across three distinct federal agencies over the past four years, with $1.9 million in combined obligation. The work centers on community-based environmental remediation, green job training, and health equity advancement. Most recent award (February 2026) was a Type 3 Project Development sub-grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10, administered by Philanthropy Northwest as prime grantee, addressing unequal environmental impacts in local communities through projects including air and water quality improvements, lead and asbestos abatement, stormwater management, energy-efficient healthy housing, and environmental job training aligned with EPA strategic priorities on human health protection, economic growth, and energy independence. In May 2024, The Blueprint Foundation served as a contributing partner and pre-apprenticeship program operator under a Friends of Trees grant, training young adults in green sector skills including arboriculture and habitat restoration to build community workforce diversity in environmental work. September 2022 saw a public health equity grant sub-award from the Oregon Health Authority (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grantor agency).

Activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year or less — with no parent vehicles, no prime-contractor relationships, and no demonstrated capacity for federal contract competition. The organization's federal role is limited to sub-recipient environmental justice and workforce development work flowing through established nonprofit grant recipients to local communities.
