About Wateree Community Action Inc.
Wateree Community Action Inc., a South Carolina-based tax-exempt non-profit, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering early childhood education, family support services, and low-income energy and community assistance programs to HHS and HUD. The organization acts primarily as a grant recipient (76% of recent awards) and secondarily as a sub-recipient funneled through state pass-through entities, with no federal contract prime or IDIQ seat.
Wateree Community Action Inc.'s capability portfolio centers on federally funded social services and community development work. The organization holds a $3.19 million Early Head Start Project Grant from the Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600) effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030, supporting comprehensive early childhood education, health and nutritional support, and family engagement initiatives targeting infants, toddlers, and pregnant women in South Carolina. The organization also holds a Head Start and Early Head Start award from the Office of Head Start running through June 30, 2030. As a sub-recipient, Wateree Community Action Inc. receives pass-through funding from the South Carolina Office of State Treasurer under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and the Weatherization Assistance Program, with sub-awards dating from January 2024 through October 2025. The source notes Wateree Community Action Inc. has managed over $90 million in prior Head Start and Early Head Start grants, indicating a sustained operational focus on early childhood and family services delivery.
Customer concentration reflects a mix of HHS and HUD funding. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 12 awards; the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 16 awards across recent awards listed. The Department of Energy accounts for one award. Activity remains modest but consistent — two awards in 2020 declining to one in 2021, then returning to three annually in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with a combined $314.3 million obligated across 29 awards since 2003. The recent Early Head Start award is the largest individual grant commitment in the source and anchors the five-year outlook through 2030.
