Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a single organization to serve as the Head Start grantee for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Montana. The purpose is to fund comprehensive Head Start program services for eligible young children and their families living in that county. The program falls under CFDA 93.600 (Head Start) and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, with awards made as a discretionary grant.
The funding level is fixed at $647,243 per year, and the announcement anticipates one award. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $647,243, which typically means the grant amount is essentially set for the service area rather than offered as a wide range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the selected grantee would be expected to meet the non-federal share requirements associated with Head Start (as specified in Head Start program rules and the full funding announcement).
Eligibility is broad across several types of local entities, reflecting the community-based nature of Head Start. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community-based organizations), for-profit organizations, small businesses, county and city/township governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. However, individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible and would be disqualified from review and funding.
