Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Belmont County, Ohio" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACF-OHS-CH-R05-0711), was released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select an organization to operate Head Start services for eligible children and families living in Belmont County, Ohio.

The announcement also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would need to be prepared to meet Head Start non-federal share expectations as part of operating the program.
Eligibility is broad and includes local public or private entities and other community-based providers capable of running a Head Start program. Eligible applicant types listed include nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses, and also small businesses), local governments (city/township and county governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public or private institutions of higher education. Faith-based organizations are explicitly recognized as eligible if they meet the standard requirements, and they are encouraged to review ACF guidance related to grants to faith-based organizations.
