Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start, announced a discretionary grant competition to select one organization to operate an Early Head Start program serving infants, toddlers, and their families in Winnebago County, Illinois. The purpose of the funding is to support comprehensive Early Head Start services for eligible children from birth to age three and to engage their families through a mix of child development, family support, health, and related services consistent with Head Start requirements. The opportunity is tied to the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) and is intended for organizations that can directly deliver these services in the local community.
The total expected funding for this competition is $1,129,774 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed at $1,129,774, indicating ACF anticipated making a single award at roughly that annual level.

Cost sharing or matching is required under this funding opportunity, meaning the selected grantee would need to meet applicable non-federal share requirements as defined in the Head Start Act and related regulations and guidance.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private entities that meet program and administrative requirements. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county governments and city or township governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). The announcement specifically notes that faith-based and community organizations that meet eligibility requirements may apply. At the same time, certain applicants are explicitly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement.
