About the company
United Way Of The Lakelands, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Greenwood, South Carolina, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on community volunteer income tax assistance and food security programming. The organization does not compete for federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of prime grant awards (88% of recent awards) and grant sub-awards (12%), with no IDC, GWAC, BPA, or contract vehicle participation.
United Way Of The Lakelands holds a concentrated federal customer base anchored by the Internal Revenue Service. The top three funding agencies account for 88% of recent awards: the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (8 awards), the Department of the Treasury (5 awards), and the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service (1 award). The IRS relationship dominates the organization's activity through recurring Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grants, a matching grant program that funds volunteer-staffed sites serving low-to-moderate-income taxpayers, persons with disabilities, English-language learners, Native Americans, rural residents, military families, and elderly individuals. VITA grant recipients are expected to ensure at least 90% of returns prepared serve individuals at or below maximum Earned Income Tax Credit thresholds, file all eligible returns electronically, achieve 100% of return production goals, and demonstrate year-over-year efficiency gains. United Way Of The Lakelands has received VITA grants annually from October 2021 through October 2025 (awards dated October 1, 2021; October 1, 2022; October 1, 2023; October 1, 2024; and October 1, 2025), each running a twelve-month cycle through September 30 of the following year.
Beyond VITA, the organization received a cooperative agreement from the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service beginning September 15, 2021 and extending through September 30, 2025 to increase food security in Greenwood and Abbeville Counties, South Carolina through the creation of eight strategically placed community gardens using sustainable agricultural practices. The organization also acts as a sub-recipient on Emergency Solutions Grant funding (award date June 16, 2023) for homeless services and prevention.
Recent activity shows one award in 2024 and one in 2025, following a dip from earlier engagement levels (two awards in 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023). The combined dollars obligated across all sixteen awards total $2.1 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
