Cradles to Crayons, Inc.
Cradles to Crayons (C2C) provides packages of clothing and essential items to Massachusetts children experiencing clothing insecurity. A federal earmark would allow C2C to make strategic purchases to fill gaps from our recycled inventory to increase reliability and comprehensiveness of services.
Amount Requested
$258,000
FY2025 Senate CDS projects were included in Senate appropriations bills but were not enacted into law. FY2025 was funded by a Full-Year Continuing Resolution (P.L. 119-4, signed Mar. 15, 2025, SEC. 1111), which voided all FY2024 earmark language and under which no regular FY2025 appropriations acts were passed. This project will remain at requested status.

Early positioning intelligence
This project has been requested but not yet enacted. FFID surfaces CPF/CDS project intelligence from the congressional request stage — before any agency administration begins. Whether a solicitation eventually appears on SAM.gov, Grants.gov, a recipient portal, or not at all depends on the agency, assistance type, and earmark structure. Use this stage to identify the recipient and likely principals before the downstream path is determined.

Enactment likelihood is a probabilistic estimate based on member history in FFID data. It is not a guarantee. Members on Appropriations committees and majority-party members have higher historical rates.
