Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Head Start Grantee - Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, and Trempealeau Counties, Wisconsin," is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Head Start. The purpose is to fund organizations to deliver Head Start program services for eligible children and families living in four Wisconsin counties: Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, and Trempealeau. The funding is intended to support comprehensive early childhood services, which typically include early learning and development, health screenings and connections to medical and dental care, nutrition support, family engagement services, and other required Head Start components that promote school readiness and family well-being.
ACF is seeking applications from a broad range of local entities that are capable of operating a Head Start program in the target service area. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including community-based and faith-based organizations), as well as for-profit agencies. The eligibility list also explicitly includes independent school districts; city, township, county, and certain tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; institutions of higher education (both public and private); and businesses (including small businesses and for-profits other than small businesses). Faith-based and community organizations are specifically noted as eligible as long as they meet program requirements. However, individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement.
The estimated total funding available is $4,047,079 per year, and the award ceiling is also listed as $4,047,079, with an award floor of $0. The announcement anticipates making two awards, which suggests ACF may fund more than one grantee to serve the area, depending on how services are structured and the applications received. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with this program is 93.600 (Head Start). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning applicants should be prepared for some form of non-federal share commitment consistent with Head Start rules and the specific terms in the full announcement.
