About Tri-County Action Program Inc.
Tri-County Action Program Inc., doing business as Tri-Cap, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Waite Park, Minnesota, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient and passes funding to sub-recipients through human services, energy assistance, housing, and tax assistance programs. The organization operates almost entirely in a sub-recipient role, with 79% of its recent 141 awards coming as pass-through sub-awards under state and federal prime grantees, and only 21% held as prime grants.
Tri-Cap's federal footprint centers on four principal grant programs. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grant from the Internal Revenue Service funds volunteer tax preparation for low-to-moderate-income individuals, persons with disabilities, non-English speakers, Native Americans, rural residents, military families, and seniors; Tri-Cap has received consecutive VITA awards since fiscal year 2021, with the most recent award dated October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2026. The Continuum of Care (COC) program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems; Tri-Cap has held COC awards consistently since 2021, with the current award dated August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. Tri-Cap also received an Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant from the Federal Communications Commission on June 20, 2023, to increase awareness and participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program among eligible low-income households. As a sub-recipient, Tri-Cap administers energy assistance programs, child care administration and development funding, SNAP employment and training activities, and community services block grants flowing from Minnesota state agencies (Department of Commerce Minnesota, Minnesota Department of Human Services, and Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families) acting as prime grantees of federal funds.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward state-administered federal programs. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 49 awards, and the Department of Energy accounts for 43 awards, together representing 88% of all awards in the source data. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, and the Internal Revenue Service round out the top five customer agencies. The organization serves ten distinct federal agencies overall. Activity expanded sharply from seven awards in 2021 to 51 awards in 2023, then moderated to 38 in 2024 and 13 in 2025; only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete exposure.
