Works Inc.

Works Inc. is a non-profit organization and community development corporation registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 2005, with current registration valid until May 2025. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization appears to focus on environmental conservation, urban agriculture, and community development initiatives. The organization's federal grant awards suggest a strategic approach to ecological restoration, urban farming, and community resilience projects, particularly in urban environments like Memphis, Tennessee.

Works Inc. has been awarded multiple federal grants from civilian agencies, primarily the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). Recent grant awards demonstrate the organization's expertise in environmental restoration and urban agricultural development. These projects include installing high tunnels, roosting and nesting boxes, and creating simulated native thicket habitats on a 5-acre urban farm site in Memphis. Another significant project involved invasive plant removal and native prairie/oak savannah restoration on eight acres of vacant urban land. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Works Inc. also received a grant to support food processors, distributors, farmers markets, and producers, addressing workplace safety, market adaptations, facility retrofitting, and related pandemic response measures. The grants, ranging from ecological restoration to pandemic relief, indicate the organization's versatility in addressing community and environmental challenges through targeted federal funding mechanisms.
