Toward Independence Inc.

Toward Independence Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Xenia, Ohio, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, with no prime contract or grant awards and no seat on federal contract vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-awards under community development and infrastructure grant programs, with four sub-awards totaling $256 thousand obligated across the past two years.

Toward Independence's recent grant work centers on community resilience and municipal infrastructure. The vendor received three sub-awards in July 2023 under the Dayton ARPA grant program (likely the American Rescue Plan Act allocations administered through or for the city of Dayton, Ohio), and one sub-award dated September 2025 for preventative maintenance work. The vendor's award count and dollar volume are sparse — four awards, three in 2023 and one in 2025 — and the combined obligated value of $256 thousand positions the vendor as a small community-level implementer rather than a prime grant recipient or contract holder. Activity appears episodic rather than a steady stream; no awards are reported in 2024, and the most recent sub-award is dated September 2025, more than a year after the prior Dayton ARPA work.

The source does not specify the federal grant program CFDA numbers, the names of the prime grant recipients managing these sub-awards, the specific scope of the preventative maintenance work, or the geographic or programmatic focus of Toward Independence's community services. The vendor's nonprofit structure and Ohio headquarters suggest focus on local economic development and community resilience, but without grantor agency names or program detail, competitive and partnership intelligence on this vendor's federal positioning is limited. The lack of prime awards and contract vehicles means Toward Independence does not compete as a prime contractor and brings no existing federal contract vehicles to teaming arrangements.
