World Relief Corporation Of National Association Of Evangelicals

World Relief Corporation Of National Association Of Evangelicals, doing business as World Relief Corp Of National Ass, is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Towson, Maryland that delivers refugee resettlement, humanitarian assistance, and immigrant integration services to federal agencies as a prime grant recipient (48% of 271 total awards) and as a sub-recipient under larger humanitarian and refugee programs (52% of awards).

The organization's federal footprint centers on two distinct service streams. Domestically, World Relief operates as a prime recipient under the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) refugee resettlement programs, delivering cash assistance, medical assistance, employment support, English language instruction, and case management for refugees, asylees, Cuban and Haitian entrants, trafficking victims, and special immigrant populations across multiple states. Recent domestic awards include a $7.033 million formula grant from ACF's Office of Refugee Resettlement under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) running through May 2027 for voluntary agencies matching grant work; a $180,000 project grant from the Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Citizenship Education and Training program (CFDA 97.010) running through September 2026 to deliver citizenship preparation, naturalization assistance, and English language classes; and a $266,306 project grant from USCIS for citizenship classes in the Quad Cities region through September 2027. World Relief also operates refugee career pathways programs, trauma-informed mental health support (the Support for Trauma-Affected Refugees program), employer engagement initiatives, and refugee individual development accounts under ORR funding.

Internationally, World Relief acts as a prime recipient for USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) humanitarian emergency response grants, delivering integrated health, nutrition, water/sanitation, food and cash assistance, agriculture support, and protection programming in crisis regions. Recent USAID awards include a $20 million project grant for integrated humanitarian emergency response in West and Central Darfur, Sudan covering health, nutrition, WASH, food/cash assistance, agriculture, and protection through August 2025; a $5.5 million grant for food and agriculture assistance to internally displaced people in the Democratic Republic of Congo through March 2025; and a $7 million grant for agriculture, economic recovery, water and sanitation, and food assistance in Haiti through July 2024. The organization also holds cooperative agreements with the Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration for reception and placement services to refugees and special immigrant visa holders.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward HHS-ACF, which accounts for 148 awards (approximately 55% of the prime and sub portfolio), followed by USAID (41 awards), the State Department Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (26 awards), and smaller programs under HHS and USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. The top five customers account for 89% of all awards. ACF dominates both by volume and by obligated value; USAID's smaller award count masks larger per-award values typical of international humanitarian grants. The organization has worked with 15 distinct federal agencies.

World Relief operates predominantly as a sub-recipient across state refugee resettlement networks. Sub-grantee relationships flow through prime grantees including the Illinois Community College Board (adult education and English language acquisition services), the Department of Social and Health Services (refugee social services, employment and literacy programs across multiple states), the South Carolina Department of Social Services (employment, case management, health promotion, and youth mentoring for refugees), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (unaccompanied refugee minor programs and school impact services), and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (trafficking victim assistance, refugee medical assistance, and health promotion). World Relief also receives sub-awards from the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service for AmeriCorps programming in economic opportunity and from Solidarités International for nutrition and health interventions in South Sudan. Sub-recipient work spans formula grant pass-through arrangements and project-based sub-contracts, with the volume of sub-awards (141 of 271 total) reflecting the distributed nature of domestic refugee resettlement administration across state and local agencies.

Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.2 billion across the portfolio. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only two awards face ultimate completion in that window. Activity has grown materially year over year, climbing from 40 awards in 2023 to 59 in 2024, with 45 awards recorded in 2025 and 16 in 2026 to date (data as of mid-October 2026). The organization's grant footprint spans domestic refugee resettlement and integration services under HHS-ACF, citizenship and naturalization support under USCIS, international humanitarian assistance under USAID, and reception and placement coordination under the State Department.
