Opportunity Summary:
The Early Head Start Grantee opportunity for Carroll, Dallas, Greene, and Guthrie Counties, Iowa is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The purpose of this funding is to select one organization to deliver Early Head Start services to eligible infants and toddlers and to support their families across the four-county service area. Early Head Start is focused on comprehensive early childhood development and family support for children from birth to age 3, typically prioritizing families with low incomes and other qualifying circumstances under program rules.
ACF is making $467,935 available each year for this service area, with an award ceiling of $467,935 and an award floor of $0, and it anticipates making one award. Applicants are expected to use the funding to operate an Early Head Start program that provides developmentally appropriate services for very young children along with family-centered supports. While the notice does not list program design specifics in the source text provided, Early Head Start grants generally require services that address early learning and development, family well-being, health and developmental screenings, and strong connections to community resources, delivered either through center-based care, home-based services, or a combination model depending on the approach proposed and approved.
A wide range of applicant types may apply, reflecting the community-based nature of Head Start programming. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses, though not limited to them), state and local governments (including county governments, city or township governments, and state governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement explicitly states that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet the standard eligibility requirements. At the same time, certain applicants are not allowed to compete, specifically individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships.
This opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected grantee must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost in accordance with Head Start grant rules and the terms laid out in the full funding announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program area is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, consistent with Head Start’s mission of supporting school readiness and family stability through comprehensive early childhood services.
