Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a competitive federal grant announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), to select a Head Start grantee to deliver Head Start program services in five counties in Iowa: Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Monroe, and Wayne. The purpose is to fund an organization that can operate a full Head Start program for eligible children and their families in that service area, following all applicable Head Start Program Performance Standards and federal requirements tied to the Head Start Act.

The program is categorized under Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.600, Head Start. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected grantee is expected to meet non-federal share obligations consistent with Head Start rules (typically through allowable in-kind or cash contributions, subject to the regulations and any waivers that may be available under specific circumstances).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic entities that can demonstrate they meet the requirements to operate Head Start. Eligible applicants include local public or private nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) organizations), community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly listed, and small businesses are also listed as eligible), city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments.

Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
