About the company
Watermark Auto Group Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit foundation based in Marion, Illinois, receives federal grants for rural business development and economic development projects as a prime grant recipient — not as a federal contractor. The foundation operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract vehicles, no contract prime awardees, and no subcontracting relationships in its federal footprint.
The foundation's federal grant activity centers on two grantor agencies. The Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services has issued two Rural Business Development Cooperative (RBEG) grants — one awarded June 21, 2022 (completion June 21, 2024) and another awarded June 29, 2026 (completion June 29, 2028). The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration awarded a $3.876 million project grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program on July 26, 2022, funding the renovation of the Citadel, a 21,000-square-foot 1914 building in downtown Marion, to create the Ethos Business Incubator. The incubator provides small business training, services, and leasable space for entrepreneurs and small businesses, targeting workforce displaced by the decline of the coal industry and driving economic diversification in a region impacted by coal-industry transition.
Across the three awards in the source data spanning 2022 through 2026, the foundation has obligated $4.1 million in combined federal funding with no sub-awards. One award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months. The foundation's federal footprint reflects a grant-recipient posture focused on rural economic development and community-based business incubation rather than federal contracting or prime-contractor relationships.
