Ymca Of Memphis & The Mid-South

The YMCA of Memphis & The Mid-South is a corporate entity registered as a tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization located in Cordova, Tennessee. Registered in SAM.gov since December 2006, the organization provides community-focused services across the Memphis and Mid-South region. Their federal grant awards demonstrate a commitment to workforce development, social services, and community support programs that address critical regional economic and social needs.

The organization has received multiple federal grant sub-awards primarily from the Tennessee Department of Human Services, focusing on programs such as Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and various administrative support services. Most notably, the YMCA recently received a significant $1,498,559 prime federal grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants program. This grant aims to increase access to stable, high-quality jobs for workers in the Appalachian, Delta, and Northern Border regions, with a specific focus on workforce training, career services, supportive services, and employer services. The grant prioritizes historically marginalized populations, including new workforce entrants, dislocated workers, and incumbent workers, with an emphasis on connecting participants to critical sectors like infrastructure and clean energy. Additional sub-grant awards from state agencies include meal reimbursement programs and administrative support, reflecting the YMCA's diverse approach to community service and economic development.
