About the company
Wake County Public Schools Office Of Grants Division, doing business as Wake County Board Of Education, is a U.S. local government entity (school district) based in Cary, North Carolina, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education, operating entirely in the public-sector grant space with no federal contract work. The organization acts as a 100% prime recipient across 38 federal awards with no subrecipient relationships.
The source captures nine grant awards spanning 2022 to 2026. Wake County is a recipient of formula grants under Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, which have run consecutively across the five-year period (2022–2023, 2023–2024, 2024–2025, 2025–2026, and 2026–2027 award years), with each year's ultimate completion date falling on June 30 of the following year. Beyond formula funding, Wake County has received project grants, including Mental Health Matters (Jan 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2025), Project Leaders: Leveraging Employee Advancement to Develop Excellence and Reach Success (Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2025), Project Synergy (Oct 1, 2022 to Sep 30, 2026), and Project Elevate (Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2026). All nine awards listed derive from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Across the full 38-award footprint visible in the portfolio data, the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 32 awards (84% of the total), with the Office of Innovation and Improvement contributing 3 awards and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center contributing 1 award. Combined potential value across all awards is $11 thousand; however, combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $90 million, indicating that the source's "potential value" figures understate the actual scope of funding received. Award activity has been sparse and irregular — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the annual or multi-year cycle characteristic of K–12 federal grant receipt rather than federal contracting procurement velocity. Within the next twenty-four months, one award reaches ultimate completion and therefore faces recompete or renewal.
Wake County does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, does not operate as a federal contractor, and does not appear in federal contract procurement channels. The organization's federal footprint is confined to direct grant receipt from the Department of Education for K–12 education programs, mental health services, and Native American education support.
