Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

According to the University of Phoenix, the non-profit XYZ Corporation is incorporated as a 501(c)3 in the state of Texas. The organization’s mission is to provide psychiatric counseling services for residents of El Paso County. XYZ receives funding from the state government on an annual basis to provide services to those deemed to be medically indigent—that is, those residents who have an income less than 150% of the poverty level, based on federal poverty guidelines. Patients are required to pay a fee, which can be as low as $20.00 per visit, based on their income. XYZ employs a staff of four licensed professionals. As a result of the demand for the service and a clear need in the area, XYZ received additional funding in late 2003 to open a satellite office, (University of Phoenix, 2014, Week 7 Supplement). While searching for needed federal assistance programs, the director honed in on three plans specific to its growing target population which are AARA Grants to Health Center.
