Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Head Start, seeks one or more organizations to operate Head Start and/or Early Head Start services in Sunflower County, Mississippi. The goal is to fund a high-quality, comprehensive early childhood program serving children from birth through age five and their families. Applicants may propose a blended birth-to-five model that combines both Head Start and Early Head Start funding, or they may apply to operate Head Start only or Early Head Start only, depending on their capacity and eligibility.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start). ACF anticipated making up to two awards. The estimated total annual funding available is $4,633,382, with an award ceiling of $4,633,382 and an award floor of $0.
