Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early Head Start Grantee - Clarke and Decatur Counties, Iowa," is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). It is designed to fund one organization to operate Early Head Start services for eligible infants and toddlers, along with comprehensive supports for their families, specifically in Clarke and Decatur Counties in Iowa. The intent is to expand or ensure access to high-quality early childhood and family support services for very young children in these two counties through an Early Head Start program.
ACF is making approximately $353,571 available each year for this effort, and the expected number of awards is one. The award ceiling is listed as $353,571, with an award floor of $0, indicating that while a full annual amount is anticipated, the agency retains flexibility depending on the application and program design. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, which aligns with Early Head Start's role in supporting low-income families through early learning, health, and family well-being services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee must meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as part of the award conditions.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities that can demonstrate the ability to deliver Early Head Start services in the local community. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet the program requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply.
The key service focus is Early Head Start programming for infants and toddlers and their families living in Clarke and Decatur Counties. While the summary text does not list specific program options, Early Head Start grants typically support comprehensive child development services that may include home-based and/or center-based early learning, developmental screenings, health and nutrition supports, family engagement, and connections to community resources, all delivered in a way that meets federal Head Start Program Performance Standards. Applicants are expected to propose a local program approach that can effectively reach eligible children and families in the defined service area and manage federal grant responsibilities.
