About the company
Friends Program, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on intergenerational volunteer service programs for seniors and disadvantaged children, with all fifteen awards in recent activity coming as prime grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service and its Office of Grants Management (100% of awards).
Friends Program's grant footprint centers on two AmeriCorps Seniors programs. The Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011) engages seniors aged 55 and older with limited incomes to provide direct mentoring, tutoring, and educational support to children with special needs or who are academically or socially disadvantaged. Volunteers serve approximately twenty hours per week in schools, Head Start programs, childcare centers, and other community settings; Friends Program activates ninety-two or more volunteers annually through this program. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) rounds out the portfolio. The most recent grant award, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, funds the Foster Grandparent Program with $341,221 in federal obligations against a new baseline of $252,000 following an approved permanent reduction of $346,851, with required statutory and budgetary match obligations of 10% and 25.93% respectively. An earlier Foster Grandparent Program grant awarded April 1, 2023 with ultimate completion June 30, 2026 added permanent funding of $14,444 to align stipend amounts with Congressional increases. The RSVP grant awarded April 1, 2024 with completion March 31, 2027 includes $2,500 in one-time additional funds for training travel. Grant recipients must maintain comprehensive financial and program records for three years following the final Federal Financial Report and comply with National Service Criminal History Checks for all compensated individuals.
Friends Program shows minimal activity velocity — one award per year across recent years — with only one grant reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined federal obligations total $20.1 million across all fifteen awards since 2005.
