Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced a discretionary grant competition to select a single grantee to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Arlington County, Virginia. The opportunity is intended for organizations that can deliver comprehensive Head Start programming in the community, supporting both early childhood development and family well-being. The funding is designed to maintain Head Start services locally by awarding one operator the resources to run the program and meet federal Head Start performance requirements.
The grant is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-OHS-CH-R03-0342 (CFDA 93.600, Head Start) and falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services.

The award ceiling is also listed as $2,169,868, with an award floor of $0, indicating the funding amount was essentially set at the annual level described for the successful applicant. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee would be expected to meet Head Start non-federal share requirements as part of operating the program.
Eligibility is broad across many types of local entities, reflecting Head Start's community-based model. Eligible applicants include local and county governments, certain tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities).
